"I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dan Melena. We used Dan for our extensive landscape project when our landscape architect recommended him to us. She said he was an A+ vendor and she was right! From the moment I met with Dan I knew he was the one for the job. He was friendly and approachable while also being professional. His pricing was competitive for the large scale job we wanted him to do. Dan was on site everyday to check on the project and check in with us. We were starting from scratch with a blank canvas so there were many components of the project he had to oversee. The first crew came in to install the drain tiles and work on a drainage system for the yard. Once that was complete the next crew moved in to install the landscape. Everyone on his team was courteous and hard working. They took great care of each step of the plan. Dan was always interested in whether or not we were happy with the work and was helpful with suggestions when we wanted to make a few changes. He recommended a tree service company for us to use to make sure the trees reach their full potential. He is not a one and done vendor. He is interested in maintaining relationships. We look forward to working on phase 2 of our project with him in the future."

"Mario and his crew did excellent work. They arrived on time and worked fast on a hot humid day. Everything was cleaned up as they went and nothing left behind. I can't believe it was all done in 8 hrs. I highly recommend them and will hire again when needed."

"Wonderful experience with pool installation....all the way from the sales/design to the installation team/work crew. Dan Lynch's design breathtaking. Tyler Davis, project manager, was always on top of everything. Josh was an absolute workhorse, showing up every single day and took care of every detail and request. Entire team extremely professional throughout the entire process. Could not have asked for anything more. Would rehire in a heartbeat!"

"All projects were completed with beautiful results. Their masonry division and pavers division both employ professional, seasoned crews who are assigned to the project with experienced foremen. With all of the projects there was meticulous care taken with the work, and they communicated with me about matters that came up along the way. The company was very easy to work with in negotiating the agreement, reviewing details, and getting responses to various questions along the way. There was a small group of stones, intended for capstones on a wall, that were not of the quality of the other stone, and they replaced those for me. Dan (masonry division & company) and Marty (paver division), division managers and senior managers of the company, offer careful review of their respective divisions' work and of the overall projects, and clearly care about their customers. The onsite foremen (John - masonry) and Rob (Pavers) were very careful with the details and the progress of the projects. They brought a lot of positive energy and enthusiasm to the work every day. In one instance a section of the drive wasn't to Rob's liking, and they pulled up that section and redid everything. They were careful to adjust the angles for drainage on the driveway, and were attentive to details that a lesser company might not pay attention to. They will purchase the quality of pavers/stone requested by the customer, and the Unilock pavers I chose to have installed both look beautiful, and appear to be durable also. They were attentive to protecting my home from construction dust, as I had requested, covering windows and doors in the vicinity, and cleaned up well after their work. I had a landscape design created for the overall plan for renovating the exterior of my home, and they comfortably worked with that design in establishing the dimensions of the various paver projects. I thought that the front area and driveway would look very nice as planned but it looks even better than I had hoped. Neighbors, and even the mail carrier have commented upon the awesome work; it is nice when one's neighbors can also enjoy and appreciate the results of a home project. Early in the planning stages I was deciding upon whether I was going to use HiCon's services for this work or another contractor. What tipped the balance was some advice from another contractor I had working at my home, who has had occasion to see HiCon's work over time because of the work that they do; their comment was that they thought I should contract with HiCon because their work is excellent and really holds up over time. Where this other contractor might see a more amateurishly constructed patio start to show signs of wear after a few years, the HiCon structures they have had occasion to see are often there many years later, still in good shape. I couldn't be more pleased with the work."

"It went well as far as I know. The newly installed lights work and since they are smaller than the old lights, the electrician took the time to install some dry wall so that I can paint the area and make the area look normal. Today's visit was the second visit and a third will be necessary to finish all the projects.

"It went great! Aldo runs a good business, listens to his clients, offers great professional advice, and is truly concerned about results that make you happy in the end. We had an old retaining wall removed and he created a new, longer, more professional looking wall in front of our main flower bed area. River rock was added in areas with new mulch. Aldo recommended removing our old splash basins for the downspouts and putting in underground PVC with a flush pop-up drains which really cleaned up the overall look. He removed an old dead tree and trimmed two others. Installed bushes that we purchased and added stone edging boarders in two areas that completed the overall look and package. His crew works hard and they were very nice. Give AJ's Tree Service & Landscaping a call. He will be responsive and will be a great contractor for your next home improvement landscaping needs."

"Mr. Mantz and his employees trenched along the fence line in my side yard. This area often captured and retained large quantities water following heavy downpours .
Once the trenching work was completed, Mr. Mantz and crew shoveled in a substantial layer of stone, installed drainage pipe, connecting it to an existing line, covered the pipe with more stone and installed a drainage basin nearer the front of the house to complete the install.  To ensure that quick and effective drainage will occur during heavy rainfall, decorative rock was placed on top of the completed ditch.
Mr. Mantz did an outstanding job communicating with me throughout the entire project.  He scheduled Ohio Utilities Protective Services to ensure that all underground utilities were properly located before starting the dig. I was impressed with the extra effort taken  to keep the work area relatively mud free by placing the trench dirt on top of tarps. Once all backfill was complete and tarps removed  the work area was left remarkably clean.
Mr. Mantz and his employees were always prompt, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend Mantz's Lawn and Landscaping

FAQs for sod installation projects in Mason, 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.
