"Upon contacting Rocky Ellison Masonry, Rocky provided us with a recommended solution to our paver issue and gave us an excellent estimate which we accepted. Rocky showed up promptly at the time of the appointment to provide the estimate and also to begin the work. Rocky's attention to detail is impeccable. Each step of the project was completed to a very high standard. We found Rocky to be fair, honest, and hard working. Given the excellent work by a true perfectionist, I'm absolutely certain that no one could have done a better job. I recommend Rocky Ellison Masonry very highly!"

"Reviewed a few companies before choosing Green Home installations. They were quick to come out for an initial estimate - pricing was fair - and showed up on time for their appointment to install the fence in one day. Thoroughly cleaned up after the install and delivered a great product. I am extremely happy with my fence, the work provided by their install team and their front office staff. Highly recommend them for your fencing needs."

"Plan-It Green recently helped us with adding some landscaping updates and a hardscape porch and steps. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and have received numerous complements from neighbors. We have a semicircular driveway with an island in the front that contains a huge electrical box and other utility poles which are quite unattractive. The area was just very blah and we had lost a tree and some plants from our winter cold front. Jordan and his crew, Terry and Alex, installed a stacked stone raised bed within the island giving it 2 levels, planted a weeping cherry and other plantings, bushes to help hide utility boxes, and pea gravel in rest of island. They also added plantings to our other beds, some more boulders, mulch and a small waterfall. It all turned out beautifully! Jordan kept us informed and updated all along the way and Terry and Alex did beautiful and professional work. Would definitely recommend."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Mascot, TN

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.
