"During the summer of 2017, we had water intrusion from the heavy thunderstorms. The water came in from one of our basement window wells and soaked the drywall. We had to have the drywall removed and remediated for mold. At that point, we hired Leaky Cellar to repair the cracks and remove and fill in the window well where there was water intrusion. We had used Leaky Cellar approximately 2 years earlier to patch cracks on the opposite basement wall, and their work was superior. Kevin showed up promptly for the estimate and immediately decided the best way to keep water out of the basement - patching cracks, and filling in the basement window well, which we did not use, as well as removing a concrete slab adjacent to the foundation outside and earthwork around the foundation. After a brief discussion we decided to install a sump pump, as well. Due to a large amount of business, they could not get to our house until February 2018, but that was all right with us, since they had done good work at fair price for us previously, and clearly a lot of others felt that way, too. They showed up the exact date that they said they would be available, and unfortunately, I was out of town for work. It did not matter, they set about their work efficiently and kept my wife informed as to what they were working on. The completed all work within 2 days, and this included temporarily moving our A/C unit to remove the concrete. The work was all done to our complete satisfaction at the price stated. They had an A/C company come out and re-install the A/C unit. A few months later, when we switched on the air for the warm weather, we found the compressor was not working. I phoned Leaky Cellar to let them know that our unit was not working and Corrina immediately called the A/C company and had them come out and see what was going on. It turns out that the valve to the compressor had been closed and not re-opened after re-installing it. The company (Air Solutions) and Leaky Cellar re-opened the valve, installed new coolant, and installed a new capacitor - free of charge! This was truly exemplary customer service by both companies. There was an issue, and they worked quickly to resolve it, no questions asked. I will be using both companies in the future. Thank you, Leaky Cellar! Definitely, defintely recommend!"

"I highly recommend this tree service. I will definitely use this tree service again. They were very punctual, professional, courteous, and skillful. There pricing was very reasonable. They very carefully and skillfully lifted our tree limb from our neighbor's roof with a boom truck along with rope rigging from our tree, without causing any more damage. They very skillfully removed a large long tree limb that was overhanging our house.They did a great job and also did a great job of cleaning up. Great crew!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Missouri-city, MO

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.
