"Patrick came out and discussed the project. A couple of days later he provided the suggested work date. All went according to plan. Team was on time, professional and courteous. When I indicated that there were some areas that I expected to be sodded but weren't, Patrick stated that would be done at cost of sod, no additional labor cost. I'm a very satisfied customer."

"From the initial estimate request to the final installation, we had a fantastic experience with MC Fence! Communication, workmanship and quality of materials was stellar! Jarrod, our MC Fence contact, was professional & quick to respond to any questions we had. The installation crew installed our nearly 400 linear foot fence in a day like a well-oiled machine! In addition, the office staff was friendly & efficient. We couldn’t have asked for a more positive experience with MC Fence! We would highly recommend them!"

"They are extremely efficient and reliable. They've done about 5 different jobs for me and I've been very satisfied with their work. They've painted a powder room and installed a vanity, light and mirror in it, they've installed in-line water filters, and there even put in an area of hardwood flooring. They are fast and friendly, I would definitely recommend them and rely on them for my handyman needs."

"Ed with E&R Home Solutions was very easy to work with. All of the staff is professional. Inspection and proposal was completed in a timely manner. New roof was installed on date promised. They worked very hard to complete it within one-day, working into the late evening. Clean-up was okay, we do still find nails occasionally (work was completed approx. 2 months ago). I'm sure they did the best they could given the late time and poor lighting. Overall we are very happy with the work and will hire them again in the future if needed. We will also recommend to friends and family."

"We are very happy with the services performed. Brian and his crew of 4-5 guys were amazing and professional. Brian knows every plant and shrub, made great suggestions, and had an excellent design sensibility. His crew was very professional and understood exactly what to do. They removed and took away two truck-loads (a big truck) of yard waste, took out two dozen large rocks that had formed borders; unearthed and removed an old concrete walkway; divided/moved/replanted a number of good plants; trimmed a couple of small trees; pulled a ton of ivy that had covered a large area of ground and much of our 75 foot long back fence; replaced previously planted and weedy overgrown beds with sod; and pruned and hand-trimmed a lot of azaleas, hollies, and other shrubs; beautiful mulching; more. This wasn't the lowest bid, but Brian seemed to immediately understand what we needed, so we went with him. Very glad we did. You may be able to find a crew to do what Yard by Yard did for less money, but you get what you pay for. For us, it was worth every penny. We were late getting started, and understood that they were backed up. I knew that we should have gotten on their books earlier in the season, so we had no problem with the lag between contracting and the work done. They are a small firm with lots of work, but again, it was all worth the wait. The crew was unbelievably hard-working and cleaned up perfectly every day they worked. Real pros."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Lincoln, VA

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.
