"OCR, Inc was prompt, fair priced, and extremely helpful in designing the project.  They remained at our home until the project was done.  When  completed the site was cleaned and rubble was taken away.  This is a professional company that takes care to make sure the customer has a final project to be proud of.  We highly recommend OCR, Inc. and will be using them in the future."

"Chris Locke and his crew did a great job on your backyard landscaping and hardscaping project. We interviewed a few contractors, but we chose him based on his reputation, some recommendations from friends and his competitive bid. He had some good ideas for the project and gave us options based on material choice and difference in cost. He broke down the price of his quote (price per sq ft or face foot) which made it easy for comparison to other quotes or for deciding whether we wanted to expand or reduce our project. His crew did a great job of cleaning up the site each day and the overall quality is excellent. He gives a good warranty on his workmanship and his installed plants. Overall, a great job and we would recommend him to our neighbors."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Keego Harbor, MI

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.
