"It was a very fair quote; we're just not moving forward with the project right now.  The cost was $600.  That was for removing the old grass, putting in fresh dirt to build up the property; it's actually two properties that are side-by-side, and then they were going to put in sod.  So it was about $600 for the sod price and about half that for grass seed and straw.  Their price was actually on the lower end compared to a couple of other quotes I've gotten - or at least one other quote I've gotten.  For quality, just in attentiveness, the service, they were like with me in like scheduling but then like I want to say a day. Let's go with A, but you know that's based on just meeting the guy and receiving a quote, not actually having the work performed.  For professionalism, he showed up and he looked like a gardener, he spoke like a gardener; I'll give him an A.  I mean, there wasn't any like cursing or anything like that, and that's always a plus.  I hope to hire them in the future; we have another project come up that's actually a little bit more useful than leveling a yard out, if you know what I mean."

"I want to first start off by saying that my bathroom looks amazing!!!  I contacted John because they advertised a big deal.  There was work that the deal covered that I didn't really need.  John came out and listened to what I wanted done, the budget I had to work with, and came to agreement on the services to be provided.  I had talked to two other contractors but John listened to what I wanted and worked with me and my budget.  It was a 12 working day job.  The crew is friendly and professional.  They covered my hardwood floors from the front door, up the stairs, to the entry of the bathroom.  They took care to cleanup at the end of the day. They made sure I was satisfied with the job..
All the white 4x4 tile was removed (floor and tub surround) including the white tile base molding.  The toilet was removed and set aside (I did not need the toilet replaced).  The sub-flooring under the toilet was water damaged due to a leak i was not aware of.  They replaced the sub-flooring and a section of pipe for the toilet.  They were able to fix the leak that caused the damage.  The tub and tub fixtures (faucet, handle,shower head) were replaced.  There was a slight mishap with the tub but they replaced it without any problems.  As I requested, a niche was built into the wall  for shampoo and liquid soap bottles.  The tile was installed to ceiling as requested and the floor and wall tile was installed so cleanly.  It did not have the grout caking that was previously very apparent in the builder installed tile.  New sink faucets (supplied by me) were installed and the cabinets stained a darker color.  The painter who preformed the staining and painted the bathroom and trim does amazing work.  When he started the painting of the walls he had me come in to make sure I was satisfied with the color.  When he stained the cabinets, he tweaked the color until I was happy with the stain.  The mix he came up with make my cabinets look new and rich.
I wish I could remember all their names so I could give them individual shout outs but unfortunately this is a shortcoming of mine.  I am terrible with names.  Suffice it  to say, they are an amazing crew and it was a pleasure to have them do this job.
I hope to do the master bath next year and I will be calling John Krause Construction for that job and my future kitchen make over."

"Mark and his crew did an amazing job. Some highlights: 1) Mark's proposal was the most reasonable of the three we received. 2) Mark provided some design options and suggested we go to the local stone store to be sure we got what we wanted. We appreciated his suggestions as well as his respect for our choices. 3) Mark's crew was always courteous and thorough. They also cleaned up each day and happily hosed down our neighbor's driveway per his request. 4) A few times throughout the process we had new ideas to which Mark provided his advice and updated cost estimates. For an additional $850 we were able to add more value to the final product. All told, Mark and his team built four retaining walls, installed a patio under our deck, installed a landing pad outside our pool (with the extra pavers from the deck project), installed a paver walkway between our under-deck patio and the pool, regraded the yard, seeded and strawed the yard, and replanted some perennials that were displaced in the regrading. 5) Mark always kept us updated on progress - particularly important in this rainy spring."

"Sal and company totally transformed the front of my house into a thing of beauty.  Hard-working and professional, the crew was done in a very reasonable amount of time.  They were friendly and cleaned up the site everyday.  This was a major effort as I had two sets of steps and several landings.  In addition, they replaced a poorly installed walkway with a beautiful new walkway that is the envy of all of my neighbors.  I can't tell you how pleased I am with this company and I will definitely use them again - and recommend them to anyone who needs this kind of work.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Maryland-line, 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.
