"Dan and his team did an outstanding job with our new landscaping install. The team was very punctual and tidy, cleaning up everything at the end of the day even if they were going to be right back bright and early the next morning. Dan did a great job re-working the plan slightly to make sure the end result was perfect. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the whole process, and we wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"Wonderful! They did a great job leveling the yard where the heavy equipment left deep gouges. They added topsoil, seed and straw. They also put our flower bed back together. They added mulch and put the stones back in place that were displaced. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat."

"Wonderful experience with pool installation....all the way from the sales/design to the installation team/work crew. Dan Lynch's design breathtaking. Tyler Davis, project manager, was always on top of everything. Josh was an absolute workhorse, showing up every single day and took care of every detail and request. Entire team extremely professional throughout the entire process. Could not have asked for anything more. Would rehire in a heartbeat!"

"Dave was very easy to work with, very responsive, and was clear about what work he recommended being done and why. It did take a little time to get onto the schedule, but he told me that would be the case and I wasn't in a hurry. The crew did a great job of communicating with me on status, any questions they had, how they were going to do the work, what any options were, etc. The work they did was fantastic, I am very pleased with the final outcome and would definitely hire them again."

"Outstanding! These guys are great. He responded quickly to a request for an estimate, carefully walking and noting the property, making suggestions as he went. His quote for the same work others quoted was much more reasonable than the price of 2 others providing quotes for the same work. Even if it wasn't, we'd probably have hired him anyway for the sheer fact that you could see and hear his passion and dedication to his work and you just know he's out there in the heat, rain and cold working, too! The nice thing is that he actually works with his team--he doesn't just quote and outsource. In less than a day and a half, all of our landscaping beds were re-edged, cleaned up, and mulched. A paver walkway using existing stones from a patio extension that we wanted removed was installed from our patio to the gate, and the area around the patio was sodded. This company is small, local and hardworking. Give them a call--you will be glad that you did!"

"Contacted Dads Tasks to install flooring in my basement. They did a great job by showing up on time, cleaning up after they were done and making suggestions for future projects. I will have them come out again for several more jobs I need to have done. Daryl is a Great guy to work with. In fact, this was a positive experience with the whole team."

"I can’t say enough great things about Cincinnati Lawn Services, and the owner Jeremy. I hired them to install a patio and Jeremy was professional, polite, and amazing to work with. He walked me through picking out the right pavers and took a trip to the nursery together to pick out the plants for the landscaping. I was so pleased with their work that I hired Cincinnati Lawn Services to handle year round maintenance for my lawn. They do a spring and fall cleanup, as well as lawn mowing, trimming, edging, and tree maintenance. The guys are always reliable, professional, and friendly. Pricing is also very fair considering the ease and quality of work this company preforms."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Kings Mills, OH

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.
