"In addition to replacing a stockade fence, Arelio & crew demolished an empty garden shed, established a 4-foot edge for plants, and installed a paver patio in the middle of the back yard. They also replaced the steps from the enclosed porch to the back yard. Great job for a reasonable price -- very efficient (working late on the last day to complete job AND clean up). Would definitely hire them again."

"There are not many left who will do traditional lawn seeding - stripping, loam, seed, and rake. I had almost 1/2 my lawn redone. The work crew was great and responded to requests without having to "call the boss" - we worked it out together how the large areas should be done. It was quite wet so asked them to come back and re-rake and smooth the loam out better - no problem."

"Jared was awesome he totally delivered everything he quoted and then some!!! His pricing was fair and as questions came up during the construction phase he expertly problem, solved and offered reasonable solutions. I would highly recommended DAGS excavation For a wide variety of projects. Due to a septic system/repair my backyard was a mess and he came in and fixed the irrigation system regraded the yard installed a new backyard patio and a front patio and hydro seeded the lawn with great care and expertise. I would highly recommend Jared/DAGS excavation for any project you might have for landscaping, Hardscapes irrigation, etc. !!!"

"Hard working individuals that totally exceeded expectations in every possible way. As an example, I moved a trailer for them so they could park their truck next to the gate and when they completed the job they put the trailer back. This is customer service that you never see anymore. They removed limbs from my trees and when they were completed it was not one leaf left on the lawn. Amazing job"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Methuen, MA

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.
