Green Brothers Landscaping is primarily a Design/Build landscape company, meaning we typically start with a creative custom design (or redesign) for your property along with a proposal for installing it. The work can be done in phases or all at once. The work is always done right. Plants, hardscaping, natural stone, water features along with drainage solutions, irrigation and lighting. Our staff designer has been teaching landscape design at a local university for 20+ years. Outstanding design, creativity, quality and integrity would encapsulate who we are. Delighting our customers is important to us and we love making things beautiful and functional. Contact our owner, Scott Barker, for a free consultation.

"We chose Green Brothers for our entrance walk project, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome! From the very beginning, the team impressed us with their professionalism, craftsmanship, and commitment to excellence. It was clear they take immense pride in the quality of their work and genuinely care about client satisfaction. We came in with a rough idea of what we wanted, and the Green Brothers team elevated the design, offering creative improvements that made the final result even more beautiful and functional than we imagined. Throughout the process, communication was clear, respectful, and timely. The crew showed up when they said they would, kept the workspace clean, and completed the project on schedule. Since the walkway was completed, we’ve had numerous neighbors stop by to ask who did the work, and they’ve all commented on the excellent craftsmanship and elegant design. We are incredibly happy with our experience and the final product. "

Sod installations FAQs

Seeding is less expensive up front compared to sod installation. However, sod provides an instant lawn with minimal maintenance, while seeded lawns require extended care and can take up to two years to fully establish.

“To determine how much sod you need, first calculate your yard’s total area by sketching your layout and multiplying each section’s length by its width. Standard sod pieces measure 2 feet by 1½ feet, and one pallet covers 450 square feet. Divide your total square footage by this pallet coverage figure and consult your sod provider for precise estimates to ensure you purchase the correct amount.”

“New sod develops a strong root system within 10 to 14 days, so it is not ready for heavy use until this period is complete. Do not walk on or disturb the sod during this critical phase, as premature activity delays healthy rooting. Allow the grass to settle firmly to secure long-term lawn durability.”

“You can begin limited, careful use of your lawn two weeks after installation to allow initial rooting. However, refrain from heavy traffic or frequent mowing until six weeks have passed and the roots have fully anchored the sod. Consistent watering during this period is essential to promote robust development and long-term stability.”

“After installation, monitor your sod closely for balanced color and uniform moisture. Watch for brown patches or uneven growth, as these indicate dehydration or nutrient deficiencies. Maintaining a steady watering schedule and ensuring the sod remains undisturbed during its early stages are essential steps to guarantee robust root development and a healthy, attractive lawn.”

“The best time to install sod is during spring or fall. These seasons offer optimal temperatures and moisture levels that ensure rapid rooting and strong establishment. Avoid installing sod in winter when the ground is frozen or in summer when extreme heat can dehydrate the grass, as proper conditions are critical for a durable lawn.”
