"Exceptional service and highly recommended. Having moved into my new home with my 86 year old mother, I wanted to transform the appearance of the landscaping as mom enjoyed flowers. I inquired on angi and Mr. Ken Noble of Noble Landscaping reached out to me. My experience could not have been better. Ken listened to what I wanted and offered valuable suggestions. During the process I changed my mind a few times, Ken was extremely patient and accommodating. I needed other work beside landscaping and discovered his company can do quite a few things. He cut down several trees; installed irrigation systems; built very nice rock walls around 7 areas. Then came structural repairs, rebuilt my large deck from the ground up, replaced structural beams in my workshop adding insulation and particle board where I can hang things up and replaced sheet metal. Finally finishing up with Alabama sunset stone in all flower beds. My new retirement home looks amazing. On a personal note getting to know Ken he is a devout Christian and very compassionate. Being elderly I got a dizzy spell and passed out, Ken prevented me from falling on concrete, called 911 and stayed with me until they arrived. I will not hesitate to recommend his company"

"Great! Nick is very professional from recommendations made to installation and the work done wax exactly what we wanted. We were very pleased with the entire process. They even put mulch around 2 of our trees as a courtesy. Clean up was immaculate. I would definitely recommend Nick Plummer at Yaardvark for any landscaping needs."

"My wife and I just bought a 200 year old farm house and Denver's Wrench have been a god send. We hired them to help with our first project and it could not have gone better. In addition to fixing/updating our floors and walls, the team was able to find many hidden issues we never would have found. The team can work on a per hour or project basis which makes them super easy to work with. They definitely treated our house like it was their own and took our new house and made it a home. Their team did a wide range of projects for us from remodeling and painting to electrical and plumbing which is great that we can get so much done with one call. Great team that I highly recommend."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Mount Juliet, 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.
