"Jon Beckler came out to see the damage the huge pine branches caused to my roof and my siding the day after the snow storm this past Monday and Tuesday (November 30th and December 1st). He came out to see the damage and brought his crew out the next day. They were thorough and did a great job. I have used Beckler Tree Care in the past and will continue to use them because they have integrity, great service, care about their customers, and do great work! In addition, they are prompt and professional. i highly recommend Beckler Tree Care!"

"Sold fill dirt saying it had only minimal rocks up to the size of your fist... full of giant boulders, mortered together bricks, pipe, wire, and screws. I specifically stated I was not interested in construction fill dirt. I am a middle aged woman with MS. I will now have to pay someone to move this dirt for me since it is impossible to shovel into a wheel barrow."

"I 100% recommend using these guys. The most professional flooring company I’ve encountered. A local family owned business that brings integrity to life. Steve was very kind and knowledgeable, which made us feel confident and comfortable. Every step was made simple. We threw a curveball at them and they still finished it all in one day. Excellent crew, highly organized, highly skilled, hard working. We are very grateful to the whole team. They took care of business. Everything was perfectly communicated and executed, at a generously fair cost. Rich was exceptional. Very kind. Very efficient. We couldn’t have asked for better service or people. Highly..highly satisfied. Nicely done guys."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Newbury, OH

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.
