"Pierce comes highly recommended: he has done multiple jobs for us, always with wonderful results. He installed a sod lawn which, a year later, is lush and beautiful. Recently, he solved a serious drainage issue by installing a French drain and river rock; he also accompanied us to the nursery to help select specimen trees and shrubs, which he installed. We are consistently impressed with his professionalism, attention to detail, and prompt/thoughtful responses to questions and requests. We will use him for all landscaping projects in the future!"

"After meeting with a number of other contractors for our project, we decided to hire MD Construction. We hired MD Construction to replace the failing retaining wall in our driveway as well as installing steps to a paved pathway that leads to our yard. We met with Miguel (the owner of the MD Construction) and he is very knowledgeable with the process and materials involved. They gave us a great price and provided us with a copy of their insurance and NJ contractor’s license. When they started the work, we had very bad rainstorms the entire week, which made their job even harder. However, they were diligent and professional throughout the process and completed the project on time and within budget. The wall looks great and is an appealing improvement to the home. We will be using them again to replace our patio in our backyard."

"In late fall, I noticed that a piece of a stone wall abutting my driveway had broken off and was drifting into the driveway. Concerned that the wall would fall into the driveway, I contacted Quinn Brothers Masonry. They came out within two days, assessed the situation and gave me an estimate. The work involved taking down both walls, knocking off old mortar on the stones, and removing ivy. After the walls were taken down, protective covering was placed on the exposed dirt, and drainage pipes and gravel were installed. They then rebuilt the walls, using the original stones. While rebuilding the walls, Patrick Quinn advised me that my stone house foundation had been compromised by paint and old mortar. I authorized additional work to restore the foundation. The paint on the stone foundation was removed and the old mortar was taken out. Then, the entire foundation had new mortar installed. I am extremely pleased with the results and will definitely hire them again."

"Iggy was quite responsive and professional, he responded to my initial e-mail within a day. Sadly I'm not within his weekly lawn service area or else I would definitely sign up for that, but he was still willing to come to my place and do a one time sort of deal. We communicated though e-mail as well as over the phone. He came out during the week to look over my property, give me ideas, and quote whatever I wanted done. Nothing seemed out of his ability to do, and his suggestions for future landscaping were excellent. It was nice too that he was available after normal work hours to do the quote being that I don't get home until almost 6pm every day of the week.
The initial quote was for about 1000, that included the entire front and sides of the property cleaned up as well as the landscaping that I needed done underneath my upper deck. Before he came out I asked him to also trim back any of the trees in the back of my house that were touching the roof (the back of my property is a giant hill and woods), that was not part of the initial quote but I decided I needed it done anyways (that added about 300 to the final price). They came out on a Saturday morning when I was away camping and performed all of the work. When I got home on Sunday my property looked immaculate. I will definitely use Iggy and his company again. They really do a fantastic job.

"Adam and his crew did an amazing job giving our yard some TLC. He is a peoples person and very professional. I was pleased to have met him in person which he prefers. The crew edged and mulched our flower beds. They trimmed all our trees and removed shrubs that were diseased with mold. Kimberly (Yard Mgr) Adam’s right hand ma’am spent special detailing to dig up river rocks that were buried and outlined the mulch and it look awesome. Adam also identified a sick tree that was poorly planted and suggested removing. Overall we are extremely excited and pleased with our yard. Thank you Chip Chop and Grind for building a relationship that last a lifetime."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Lafayette Hill, PA

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.
