"I called Outdoor Elegance for a Landscaping quote and also needed Sprinkler system install which was listed on their website under specialty experience and with Angies list. While I was getting other landscaping quotes Derek Enkes, the foreman/manager said I might as well get the sprinkler system installed as I would need it for the new plants no matter what. So he gave me a verbal quote which seemed a little high but Outdoor Elegance had a good name so I told him to do it. He did tell me that he would be sub-contracting out the work to one of his former employees who did excellent work. He talked me into going with an above the ground pump instead of a submersible pump because he said he had the same pump on his system at his house and it was great and it was easier to service. Not knowing any better I OKed it. When they were installing the pump I noticed that they simply cut off the pipe that the old submersible pump was on and never lenthened the pipe to make up for the 3 ft they cut off. Derek said it was OK that that would not make any difference. My first clue that they did not have the experience they told me they did was when they could not get the pump to prime and forgot to put a check valve on the line. They left and came back with a check valve and after some other adjustments finally got the pump working and changed out some sprinkler heads. Part of the agreement was to locate all of the valves and heads and put them on a drawing so they could easily be located. They located and uncovered everything but did not give me a drawing as agreed to. They dsiad the sprinkler guy would come back and do that after I paid them. He never did come back and complete that part even after several calls to Derek about it. By the way when he asked for a check for doing the work I was going to make it out to Outdoor Elegance who I thought I was hiring and he said no to make it out to him. I also called Outdoor Elegance and talked to a lady who was the owner to get Derek and she basically told me that if Derek ran it through his own company that they could not control that. Then less than 5 months after installing the pump it went out of prime twice going through the cycles many times with no water flowing and burned the pump up. I called in the neighbors sprinkler guy and he said that it was not installed correctly, that the area where the lines went in and out of the pump were leaking badly causing it to loose prime. He also said the shortening of the pipe probably didn't help either since in the dry season the water level goes down. I called Derek twice and he told me he was getting surgery and could not help me until he healed and would call me back. He never called me back so I had someone else install a submersible pump which should have been installed in the first place. Of the $2200 that I paid Derek I asked for the $600 back for the pump and he hung up on me and would never answer the phone again. Derek Enkes over promises and under delivers. If you are considering Outdoor Elegance or anything Derek Enkes has anything to do with, run for the hills as you are about to be had."

Seeding is less expensive up front compared to sod installation. However, sod provides an instant lawn with minimal maintenance, while seeded lawns require extended care and can take up to two years to fully establish.
“To determine how much sod you need, first calculate your yard’s total area by sketching your layout and multiplying each section’s length by its width. Standard sod pieces measure 2 feet by 1½ feet, and one pallet covers 450 square feet. Divide your total square footage by this pallet coverage figure and consult your sod provider for precise estimates to ensure you purchase the correct amount.”
“New sod develops a strong root system within 10 to 14 days, so it is not ready for heavy use until this period is complete. Do not walk on or disturb the sod during this critical phase, as premature activity delays healthy rooting. Allow the grass to settle firmly to secure long-term lawn durability.”
“You can begin limited, careful use of your lawn two weeks after installation to allow initial rooting. However, refrain from heavy traffic or frequent mowing until six weeks have passed and the roots have fully anchored the sod. Consistent watering during this period is essential to promote robust development and long-term stability.”
“After installation, monitor your sod closely for balanced color and uniform moisture. Watch for brown patches or uneven growth, as these indicate dehydration or nutrient deficiencies. Maintaining a steady watering schedule and ensuring the sod remains undisturbed during its early stages are essential steps to guarantee robust root development and a healthy, attractive lawn.”
“The best time to install sod is during spring or fall. These seasons offer optimal temperatures and moisture levels that ensure rapid rooting and strong establishment. Avoid installing sod in winter when the ground is frozen or in summer when extreme heat can dehydrate the grass, as proper conditions are critical for a durable lawn.”
