"I WAS SOOOO HAPPY WITH THESE GUYS! WE HAD PLANNED ON USING ANOTHER LANDSCAPER WHICH TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE AND ONLY HAD 2 WEEKS TO LANDSCAPE OUR YARD FOR OUR WEDDING. JOSH CAME OUT AND GAVE AN ESTIMATE THAT WAS HIGH ORIGINALLY, BUT WORKED WITH US TO BRING THE ESTIMATED DOWN TO WHAT WE WERE WILLING TO SPEND. THEY BROUGHT A CREW OF 3 GENTLEMAN, INCLUDING A POND EXPERT. THEY WERE PROFESSIONAL IN EVERY SENSE. THEY SHOWED UP WITH LARGE TRUCKS AND I LOOKED LIKE THE QUEEN OF SHEBA ON MY STREET! THEY HAD THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT AND WERE VERY ORGANIZED. THE CREW WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND WELL MANNERED. THEY ALSO HAD SUPERVISORS SHOWING UP RANDOMLY TO CHECK THEIR WORK. I WAS TOLD THEY ARE TRAINED REGULARLY IN DIFFERENT CLASSES, AND TREATED VERY WELL. AFTER DAY ONE WE WERE EXCITED WITH THE RESULTS. THEY FINISHED IN 4 DAYS AND I HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL YARD I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT WAS MUCH MORE THEN WE EVER IMAGINED IT COULD BE. EVERYTHING LOOKS SO NATURAL. IT COULD BE AN AWARD WINNING YARD!"

"Kevin worked with us to modify our plan slightly, made sure the grading was proper to insure drainage was away from the house, and carefully installed it. He did an excellent job. I did make a change from the original plan after they had dug up the soil and he was willing to let me make that change for which I am grateful. We love the walkway/patio and have had many compliments on it."

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.
