"Please find a copy of the letter we sent to The Pool Shop, Plainfield, IN, upon completion of project, which took place in the fall of 2015 in the Fishers area. 
We wanted to take time to write this letter to let you know how pleased we are with The Pool Shop and your customer-focused employees who helped make our recent pool installation a rewarding experience.
Chris Ray led the project team for our pool installation.  We understand this was one of his first assignments as ?the lead.? 
Chris was absolutely fantastic!   He was very communicative, responsive and he took the time to help us understand every step along the process.  We could see that he felt ownership to ensuring we were pleased with our decision to hire The Pool Shop ? always considering our needs first and helping us make the right decisions from design to finish.  He helped us consider all
options and followed through with even the smallest details. 
We also have to give high marks to your sub-contractor, Justin Grounds of Grounds Quality Lawn Care. 
His vision and openness to listen to us ? even as things changed in the middle of the installation?was exceptional. 
He created a backyard attraction that enhanced the pool and the landscaping, making our new recreational area a jaw dropping attraction. 
Finally, we must complement The Pool Shop and Grounds for hiring great support crews.  Both teams worked very quickly and their attention to details were outstanding.  In addition, they were also very friendly and considerate.  The professionalism they
displayed represented both companies extremely well ? adding to even more satisfaction we experienced during the installation. 
 
Spring is just around the corner.  We look forward to attending Pool School and enjoying our new backyard experience next season.
Thank you again for a great experience!  We?ll be sure to post the highest ratings on Angie?s List.

"Everything went great.  Fritz delivered the trailer the weekend before the work was to start, giving me ample time to unload the garage and even paint the walls myself first.  His team arrived on time on the day of the work and was very professional checking with me to make sure that they had everything right.
They started by grinding down the old floor, getting rid of any stains that were on there.  Then Fritz himself came and applied the first coating of the flooring.  They then applied a thick layer of paint chips to make sure the floor was covered with the coloring that I had ordered.  They vacuumed up the excess.  Finally they applied a clear coating on the top of the paint.  The result was a beautiful floor that some compared to a granite countertop.
On the second day they came out and hung all of the cabinets, overhead racks, and wall storage equipment.  This was all done very professionally and is all solid and high quality equipment.  They even hung a couple of Sam's Club racks that I had bought myself (for a small additional fee).  
Afterward I realized that there were a couple more wall mounted hooks that I wanted.  Fritz was able to get these ordered and installed as well.  He was always very patient and professional in all dealings that I had with him.  
Everything got done before our party.  At the party I can't even count the number of people who came up to me out of the blue and complimented how great the flooring looked.  Fritz is the man when it comes to redoing a garage.  I'm very happy with how everything turned out.

"We hired Fred & Sons to remove a failing willow tree. I contacted them on Friday and they had a crew here Tuesday. The tree pro hit his exact mark, and the crew left the yard in better condition than I have ever seen it! They got the tree down, all the wood and stump removed within a few hours. The price was reasonable and as estimated."

"I called Dale after stalling on getting a stump ground from last fall when I lost a tree.
He was upfront with the cost and went over the depth and size of the area that would need to be worked on.  Since it was not a time sensitive issue he stated he would stop by sometime in the next week to take care of the stump.
I happened to be home for a door install when he came by and took care of everything.  I spoke with him for a few minutes and he even gave some advice for a tree in the backyard.

"Don was at my house to evaluate my lawn and provide an estimate within hours of calling. Don seemed very knowledgeable about lawn care and was enthusiastic about sharing that knowledge at the time of the estimate and with each treatment throughout the year. Although I had mentioned that my lawn might need a complete (and expensive) renovation, Don did not try to convince me to go with that more expensive service. Don and I were on the same page about the general warming trend and continuing water problems in Indiana, so he was able to recommend a blend of seed that will be more heat and drought tolerant than the Kentucky blue grass mixes that have historically been recommended for this area. After I get a couple more quotes, I will be choosing a company. If I go with Greenwood's Finest, I'll update my report."

"Previously they had graded the yard, planted sod, done seeding in the back yard and even pulled out several old shrubs. They left everything well cleaned up and looking great! The sod is especially beautiful! They will be doing more work later in July.

"Nu Look Home Services’ replaced my 31-year-old front door with two side windows unit. Nu Look Home Services’ sent two men, Zack and James to handle my job. They were professionally dressed and courteous. If there was a question as to how I wanted something done, they ask. There were three things that I did need to get done, reinstall my existing screen door, reinstall my doorbell & reinstall the door alarm, which they did. However, we did run into a major and a minor problem. The major problem was that 31 years ago my door opening was 82 inches wide and today’s door openings units are only 80 inches wide. This left a 1-inch gap on either side of the door frame unit. Zack and James had to reconstruct the perimeter of the door frame unit both inside and outside to make this unit look as if it was part of the original construction. Also, they found a piece of floorboard underneath the door frame that had rotted over time and replaced it. The minor problem was that my existing deadbolt lock and door handle were too small to fit the new holes in the door. Not only did they replace the deadbolt lock in my handle but they rekeyed the new locks with my old key so that I still have just one key for all the locks in my home. The job turned out to be a two-day job instead of a one-day job. They stayed with the job until it was completed. Nu Look Home Services employee’s people that have the knowledge and experience that when faced with an unexpected problem on the job, they know how to resolve the problems and make a professionally looking finished product. They were constantly using their vacuum cleaner to keep the installation area clean and the dust down. After the job was completed all the old material was hauled away in the jobsite was cleaned up. Use them again? You bet!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Martinsville, IN

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.
