"I highly recommend Done Right Professional Services! They where so polite, professional and their prices where great. They came out when they said they would come out. Communication with Done Right Professional Services was amazing, very professional! Their prices did not break the bank! ALL the employees that came out where very professional looking. They where all very professional and all where very knowledgeable in everything they did. While working they kept my yard looking clean, they did not leave trash out or tools laying around while they where working! When they where finished they made sure everything was done to MY standards! I have had other landscapers argue with me on what I WANTED, but Dustin and his crew made sure that everything they did was done to my standards. Before they left they did a walk through of my property to make sure ALL trash (most the trash was there before they got there) and made sure everything was picked up and thrown away. I was so pleased with their service and their customer service that I already scheduled them to come back and install a privacy fence, paint it and paint my house next week! I will always use Done Right Professional Services and I recommend them to everyone needing any landscaping, tree services, fence installation and painting!"

"He did a great job and was very respectful and would give progress calls a few times through the project. Another cool thing is he takes most credit cards either over the phone or in person on site at your place. I thought this was awesome and out of the norm from what most people do. I will most definitely use Mr. Beach for all work needed to be done to my home until I no longer own it. THANKS Mr. Beach!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Jakin, GA

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.
