"DVH Turf Management provided service as well as or actually better than what we had originally expected. Service Tech Darren was wonderful, very courteous, professional, informative and helpful. Our lawn was initially all sodded three years ago. However, first thing - he did an immediate and thorough analysis and before I knew it, was applying a full chemical treatment of "weed & feed". Next, he pointed out sections of our lawn where undesirable grasses and weeds had taken root. He provided a full explanation for a long-term plan and controlled maintenance to bring our lawn back to health. So, I have to apologize for my previous hasty review and offer a BIG Thanks to DVH - Great Service. Also to note: there are at least four neighbors within a few houses of ours that are now utilizing their service."

"They did a great job at a reasonable price! They came on time, and were very careful about my items and landscaping as they were washing. The house had a lot of mildew on the siding, but after they washed it, it came out crystal clean. The concrete walkway looks great, as does the fence. They were very careful on my composite decking to make sure there were no streaks and it came out perfect, back to the original gray color like the day it was installed. The job was done quickly and well. They are very courteous. I would highly recommend them."

"There were some miscommunication about pricing.  There were some last minute scheduling difficulties.  The carpet that they installed, it was fairly clear that the person doing the installation had not installed carpet before, it's missing a little bit of padding.  They did offer to fix it, however; I was frustrated due to the scheduling difficulties and the pricing difficulties so I declined having them come back out again to fix the carpet."

"McGinnis was great and flexible with scheduling our service. They showed up on-time and remained true to their quote. They removed some old gravel/stone from our yard and laid down sod. Afterwards they maintained our irrigation system and everything is beautiful. My wife and I couldn't be happier!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Linkwood, MD

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.
