"After two fairly severe winters, we had some settling of the hardscapes that Friebel's Quality Landscaping had installed (see earlier review for the original project). We were very pleased by the original installation, but the real test of a contractor is how he stands behind his work. Jeff (the owner) came out to take a look at the settling in March while it was still quite cold. As soon as it had warmed up, he had a crew out to fix the hardscape which is now as good as new. Great original install, great warranty service.

"Went great. The owner Derrick is great to deal with and his crew fantastic. They started immediately when they arrived and did not stop until finished. Very polite, cleaned up after themselves very nicely. I would hire again without a second thought."

"We are really pleased with our beautiful new stamped concrete walkways. Stephen Arthur and his crew did a great job putting in new walkways to our front porch and back porch. We were impressed with the high quality job they did on all the steps from tearout of the old brick walkways, putting in the forms, stamping, and final sealant application. We had good communications with Stephen throughout the process."

"After I signed the contract, they were back in less than a week to remove the driveway and sections of sidewalk.  They did this on Saturday and poured the new concrete on Monday.  Everything went smoothly and both Ron and his partner rarely took a break.  They were in constant motion until the work was done.

Only one minor complaint, They put the sod back after the forms were removed, but I had a fair amount of work to do in removing it again and filling in top soil to raise the sod back up the proper level.

Overall, a great job and I would recommend this company to anyone who needs concrete work."

"It went very well. I purchased the aeration in February and the coupon said you must have the service by August 31, 2014. I  e-mailed them and requested a visit in September if possible and they honored that request.  Very professional workers.

"The owner is very responsive and he has come out and talked to my husband several times. They've done great work. The mower accidentally broke one of our fences and they came out and replaced the fence."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Marengo, OH

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.
