"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."

"Werbrich’s employees are the hardest working people we’ve ever hired, no question. Everyone from designer to installers to maintenance works hard to deliver their best and they won’t quit until you’re satisfied. Our yard is the most beautiful in the neighborhood with use of plants and stonework in the most natural of setting. Our retaining wall was the most reasonable quote of three and it has a flow to it that wasn’t included by the other retaining wall specialty company’s quotes! I recommend Werbrich’s to everyone looking for high quality work at down to earth prices."

"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."

"Mr. Mantz and his employees trenched along the fence line in my side yard. This area often captured and retained large quantities water following heavy downpours .
Once the trenching work was completed, Mr. Mantz and crew shoveled in a substantial layer of stone, installed drainage pipe, connecting it to an existing line, covered the pipe with more stone and installed a drainage basin nearer the front of the house to complete the install.  To ensure that quick and effective drainage will occur during heavy rainfall, decorative rock was placed on top of the completed ditch.
Mr. Mantz did an outstanding job communicating with me throughout the entire project.  He scheduled Ohio Utilities Protective Services to ensure that all underground utilities were properly located before starting the dig. I was impressed with the extra effort taken  to keep the work area relatively mud free by placing the trench dirt on top of tarps. Once all backfill was complete and tarps removed  the work area was left remarkably clean.
Mr. Mantz and his employees were always prompt, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend Mantz's Lawn and Landscaping

"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."

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.
