"Roger is a great guy and his crew did a wonderful job remediating our flooding issues by putting in drainage systems that divert water around our house for some very serious flooding issues. They also installed a sidewalk to divert water and a drainage system under the sidewalk. They worked very hard and they were very courteous and kind."

"Andy and his crew turned our backyard nightmare into a garden paradise. I highly recommend them for your landscaping needs.
Our new home came with a built-in water feature in the yard. The previous owners had let it fall into disrepair, but we could tell that it was beautiful at one point. We wanted a professional to inspect it and, if needed, to make necessary repairs.
We found Andy on Angie's List and contacted him because of his unique specialization in water features. We were very happy we did so: Andy is an expert at what he does and is passionate about the design and installation of water features. This came across clearly from our first conversations and carried through into the quality of the final product.
When Andy came out to inspect our fountain we were very disappointed to learn the water feature was in such disrepair that it was flooding our yard (a known issue whose cause we were having trouble pin-pointing). It also had a standing pool of water at its base that was beginning to breed mosquitoes and other forms of wildlife. Further, the previous owners had chosen a very invasive form of decorative grass that had pierced the water barrier and taken over a large portion of the surrounding yard..
Andy worked with us to come up with a solution that fit our budget while still allowing us to keep a water feature in our yard. He was able to do this by re-using many of the existing materials to save cost (e.g. the water pump, water lines, and a large portion of the rocks). I have not encountered many contractors that were willing to do this over the years, and I have to say I truly respect Andy for being so flexible with us.
To make matters better, he stuck with the budget and delivered us a BEAUTIFUL waterfall all within our negotiated time frame. Over two days, Ponds to Patios removed our old water feature, tilled the earth to remove the root system of the invasive grass, installed a new water barrier, and built us a new fountain.
Andy guaranteed his craftsmanship for a year. Given the quality of the final product, though, I doubt we'll need to call him for service.
I know Ponds-to-patios is not the biggest outfit around the area, but they are definitely dedicated to what they do. They are a passionate and honest business that will work hard to earn your trust and business.

"Small project ( 385 sq ft ) removing weed overgrown flower beds, install barrier, replant bulbs, and add river rock. Prompt start following agreement and quality work. Couldn't find a pro to do such a small job last year but H&S replied quickly and had a proposal within time stated. A bit more cost than we had anticipated but then "You get what you pay for" and we got a quality job. Will gladly recommend H&S to others."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Ivesdale, IL

Seeding costs less up front, but you’ll wait months—and sometimes a full season—for the grass to fill in. Sod costs more per square foot, yet it gives you an instant, usable lawn the day it’s installed and needs far less care during the first year. 

If speed and early curb appeal matter, the higher sod price is often worth it; if you’re watching every dollar and don’t mind the wait, seed can still be a smart play.

Start by sketching your lawn and breaking it into rectangles or circles. Measure each section, multiply length by width, and then add all the sections together for the total square footage. Standard sod rolls are two feet by 1.5 feet, and one pallet covers 450 square feet. 

Divide your total area by 450 to see how many pallets you need, then round up—extras come in handy for cutting around curves or mistakes. Still unsure? A local sod supplier or installer can confirm your math before you order.

Most sod grips the soil within 10 to 14 days. During that stretch, keep foot traffic to a minimum and mow only if the grass gets tall. After two weeks, the roots should be strong enough for light use, but wait six weeks before heavy play or frequent mowing. Giving the grass that short honeymoon helps it anchor firmly and sets the stage for a durable, healthy lawn.

Give your new lawn two full weeks before any foot traffic, then stick to light use only. Hold off on vigorous play, parties, or regular mowing until the six-week mark so the roots can dig deep. Keep watering on schedule and watch for any dry patches. A little patience now means stronger turf and fewer repairs later.

Keep an eye on color, moisture, and even growth. Fresh sod should stay uniformly green; brown spots or gaps hint at dry soil or poor contact. Water deeply at least once a day for the first week (more in hot weather) and back off gradually after the roots take. Avoid heavy foot traffic until the grass feels firmly anchored. Quick attention to trouble spots now prevents costly patches later.

Aim for spring or early fall when daytime temps hover between 55°F and 80°F. Mild weather and consistent moisture help the roots knit quickly. Laying sod in midsummer can stress the grass, while frozen winter soil blocks rooting altogether. 

If you must install outside the ideal window, budget extra time for watering and tending to the turf. Choosing the right season makes the job easier and the lawn tougher.
