"The immediate results were excellent. The lawn looked nice for one week. My opinion of why the grass grew up in the flower beds was because plastic was not put down. The soil and mulch was turned over and new mulch was applied over it. Grass and weeds were not removed and now a tremendous amount of grass and weeds plummeted up through all the nice new mulch. I am very disappointed in the result after two weeks time."

I've worked with Travis and Megan for several years.  Most of the time it's fine.  But when there's a problem, their first response is to blame me--with anger.  At one point in lawn care, I asked that the lawn chairs NOT be turned upside down, covered with grass cuttings, left in front of the stairs to enter the house.  Pretty reasonable request.  I was told that I was asking too much--they couldn't make money when I asked for more.  I said i was happy to PAY EXTRA to have the place look nice when I returned.  They never responded.

Today I sent a note that the driveway was completely torn up after plowing.  I know it was a difficult and wet snow (and I wrote that), but there were 8 inch ruts dug into the drive, and there were piles of dirt (rather than snow) all alongside the driveway (which was plowed so narrow I couldn?t actually drive it).  I sent photos, and said I wasn?t sure what had happened, but that I?d like them to come and take a look because it seemed that parts had deep snow left and parts had dug up the driveway where there wasn?t much snow.  The response was that they weren?t going to go around and around about this.  They?d gotten stuck (no one told me!) and there was a problem with the driveway.  They wanted to part ways.

It?s pretty hard to work with someone who can?t negotiate, can?t take a look at a job that?s not done well or that a customer isn?t satisfied with.  Rather than working WITH a customer, Travis and Megan seem determined to be right.  Most of the time they are.  But when they?re not, there?s no room for customer care or customer satisfaction.  That?s a problem.

"Awesome job, showed up when he said he would, charged a fair price.  Finished the job quickly, safely and cleaned up the area when finished..  It was a difficult tree to remove, next to the road with a lot of traffic going by during the removal.  It was a very tall, old and thick tree.  He and his guys were great.  We will hire again if needed.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Lyons, 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.
