"Herbal Thymes did an amazing job with our landscape design after a major renovation of our house. Jackie came up with a great design that incorporated our wishes and recognized our budget. Her and her crew worked did a great job on the installation and answered all of our questions throughout the process. We've now taken to calling this 'Phase 1' and look forward to working with Herbal Thymes for Phase 2, Phase 3 across the rest of our property."

"They worked on my front, back and side yards. They took off the original grass, added top soil, placed sod, installed new sprinkler system and planted some flowers. Overall, the highlight of this company is its people s gentle and respectful behavior when you are communicating with them; from the sales team to the lead member to the sprinkler installer to the owner. The final results were good. However, it took longer than anticipated due to some obstacles from miss dig, sudden broken equipment and lack of communication at times. I would strongly suggest requesting a tentative job date and not keep it open. Just have a date point of reference. It is possible that the workers may come without notifying you first. Overall pricing seemed reasonable. The team made sure to fix and complete everything that was requested and what needed to be done."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Lincoln Park, MI

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.
