"Noah Fitzgerald of Premium Landscaping is great to work with!  My husband and I just built a home and was looking for someone that would actually "listen" to what we wanted.  Even though we live on the coast, our home is located in a more country setting and we did not want the same ole "coastal living" look with palm trees etc. and were looking for a more serene look and low maintenance.  Noah listened to our ideas and made recommendations that would work for us and the area we live in.  He was prompt for every meeting and if he said he would be there working, he was.  He even helped facilitate finding someone to design and install our fire pit as well.  He goes out of his way to help his customers.   Professional, courteous, friendly and customer service oriented!

I’m starting my own lawn care business because I take pride in hard work, consistency, and making things look clean and well-kept. I’ve built my work ethic through hands-on labor, long hours, and paying attention to detail, and I want to put that into something of my own. My goal is to provide reliable, quality lawn care services that people can count on, whether it’s mowing, trimming, cleanup, or general yard maintenance. I want my business to stand out by being dependable, professional, and making sure every customer feels like their property is being taken care of the right way.

"They showed up for the bid on time and were very pleasant. The quote came by email. When I accepted the quote, the scheduled the work promptly and actually showed up to do it. My office manager paid for the work without confirming that it had been completed. I had 5 stumps that had not been ground. I contacted the company, having little faith that they would return in my lifetime to complete this work. They answered the phone, scheduled a time, came back and did what they said they would. Nice to work with a company that has integrity."

"The job was prefect. now several weeks later we wonder why we didn't do it sooner. I thought we just needed sod. But Jim showed us we needed to control drainage and pick the correct sod for our yard. He also removed diseased bushes for us. He was the only estimate that included how to solve the problem of the grass dying in spite of watering, feeding and insect control."

"Roland did a great job at a fair price, showed up when he promised, completed the job in a timely fashion, and was available for questions and adjustments later on. He also built a timber retaining wall for us. The guy's got lots of skills! I highly recommend him!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Lincolnton, GA

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.
