"They removed bushes and weeds, planted new bushes, installed edging, mats and lots of mulch. This is a 1/2 acre lot and badly overgrown. They made it look like a park. They were here for 7 hours . They discovered flowers I didn't know I had and planted new ones I love. I would definitely hire them again. They were very friendly and professional."

"Had some water pooling in the backyard that would flood a nearby window well during heavy rain. Abdiel and his crew got it regraded, adjusted the well, and installed a French drain system. They were quick to respond and got everything done in one day. Will definitely reach out again for future projects."

"I am very pleased with the work that Alvie and his crew have done so far. The project is not completed yet due to the uncooperative Michigan spring weather. I will definitely hire them for other projects in my old historical home."

"They trimmed two large trees away from our house. They offered to clean our gutters on our house while they were here. I am not great with heights so he threw that in as part of the project. They cleaned and removed away all the brush and left the large pieces at the base of the trees per my request so they could be used as camfire wood. Ii asked they leave it in long pieces and I would cut it up but they did it for me. They only thing keeping them from 5 stars is we agreed to the job but not a date. They just showed up a week later and did the work."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Moline, MI

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.
