"They did an excellent job. They removed the frame, laid sod where the mound had been leveled, and spread grass seed adjacent to the sidewalk blocks. I would hire them again and I would highly recommend them."

"I called Richard one day and he was there the following day with his crew, ready to work. I hired him to do some landscaping in my front yard. I told him that I needed selections that would be low maintenance and he delivered on my request. He removed and replaced all of the bushes, planted some flowers, added mulch and integrated some beautiful rocks as accents. I hired him to do some landscaping in my backyard a few weeks later. I let him run with his vision to create something nice. I love it! He also went the extra mile during both projects. He noticed that I had some bare spots in my lawn so he seeded the areas. When he returned for the second project and saw that the areas still needed some help, he suggested using some sod. It made a huge difference. I was very pleased with both projects. Richard is very personable and very passionate about his work. I would hire him again."

"Everything was wonderful from beginning to end!! This company communicated well (the owner’s initial call was made same day I contacted him through this site), and he continued to reach out in a timely fashion throughout our job. (Almost a MIRACLE these days!!) He listened carefully to everything I needed done, provided knowledgeable suggestions, and made careful notes for necessary information. His crew was polite, friendly, efficient and careful! I was SO IMPRESSED!!!! The price was in line with landscaping costs. (Not necessarily cheap, but not out of line with everything that was done). I can’t say enough good things about our experience! I am COMPLETELY pleased and will DEFINITELY be using them in the future. I have used a few other landscapers over the years, and this company was simply ABOVE & BEYOND!! They know what they are doing & are exceptional at it! 🙌👏"

"Please find a copy of the letter we sent to The Pool Shop, Plainfield, IN, upon completion of project, which took place in the fall of 2015 in the Fishers area. 
We wanted to take time to write this letter to let you know how pleased we are with The Pool Shop and your customer-focused employees who helped make our recent pool installation a rewarding experience.
Chris Ray led the project team for our pool installation.  We understand this was one of his first assignments as ?the lead.? 
Chris was absolutely fantastic!   He was very communicative, responsive and he took the time to help us understand every step along the process.  We could see that he felt ownership to ensuring we were pleased with our decision to hire The Pool Shop ? always considering our needs first and helping us make the right decisions from design to finish.  He helped us consider all
options and followed through with even the smallest details. 
We also have to give high marks to your sub-contractor, Justin Grounds of Grounds Quality Lawn Care. 
His vision and openness to listen to us ? even as things changed in the middle of the installation?was exceptional. 
He created a backyard attraction that enhanced the pool and the landscaping, making our new recreational area a jaw dropping attraction. 
Finally, we must complement The Pool Shop and Grounds for hiring great support crews.  Both teams worked very quickly and their attention to details were outstanding.  In addition, they were also very friendly and considerate.  The professionalism they
displayed represented both companies extremely well ? adding to even more satisfaction we experienced during the installation. 
 
Spring is just around the corner.  We look forward to attending Pool School and enjoying our new backyard experience next season.
Thank you again for a great experience!  We?ll be sure to post the highest ratings on Angie?s List.

"Everything went great.  Fritz delivered the trailer the weekend before the work was to start, giving me ample time to unload the garage and even paint the walls myself first.  His team arrived on time on the day of the work and was very professional checking with me to make sure that they had everything right.
They started by grinding down the old floor, getting rid of any stains that were on there.  Then Fritz himself came and applied the first coating of the flooring.  They then applied a thick layer of paint chips to make sure the floor was covered with the coloring that I had ordered.  They vacuumed up the excess.  Finally they applied a clear coating on the top of the paint.  The result was a beautiful floor that some compared to a granite countertop.
On the second day they came out and hung all of the cabinets, overhead racks, and wall storage equipment.  This was all done very professionally and is all solid and high quality equipment.  They even hung a couple of Sam's Club racks that I had bought myself (for a small additional fee).  
Afterward I realized that there were a couple more wall mounted hooks that I wanted.  Fritz was able to get these ordered and installed as well.  He was always very patient and professional in all dealings that I had with him.  
Everything got done before our party.  At the party I can't even count the number of people who came up to me out of the blue and complimented how great the flooring looked.  Fritz is the man when it comes to redoing a garage.  I'm very happy with how everything turned out.

"Previously they had graded the yard, planted sod, done seeding in the back yard and even pulled out several old shrubs. They left everything well cleaned up and looking great! The sod is especially beautiful! They will be doing more work later in July.

FAQs for sod installation projects in New Market, IN

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.
