"Justin, Lauren and crew were great to work with. We had just installed about 320 feet of fence and we were looking to install new beds that lined the perimeter of the entire backyard and front yard fence and fill them in with shrubs/perennials. We were also interested in introducing some hardscape in the form of a casual patio. Justin and Lauren produced a design document/art that showed the design proposal and listed the proposed shrubs and some beautiful irregular bluestone designs and a boulder feature, and that sold us on the project, so we went forward with it. For the entirety of the project Justin, Lauren and crew were all very approachable and forthright. Early on we identified some items that could cost extra, including some ledge. Justin was able to use his contacts with an excavation company to bring in a heavy duty drill and drill out a lot of ledge, giving us a much more level lawn. They were also able to improvise and use the boulders that got drilled out as a beautify boulder lined retaining wall. They are also now doing tree care service, and were able to prune the trees lining our backyard which was something that we've needed to do for a while and have been dragging out feet on. The crew worked long days and managed to get the project done in a little over 2 weeks, considering how many moving parts there were (irrigation fixes, heavy machinery, excavation, sod installation, shrub and perennial installation and boulder/patio installation), it was pretty awesome that they got done so quickly! I would definitely work with H & H again."

"Diego and his crew did a great job! This was a large 1,200 square foot patio area renovation that included a paver patio, pea gravel patio, grass (sod), cobblestones and a new privacy fence. I then hired him to mulch the property (20 yards). He came when he said he would, cleaned up and got the whole project done in a little over a week. Highly recommend!!"

"Really nice job done! Rick had explained everything it may had potentially problem for the dishwasher (to me it is just cosmetic problem), and you would think he is really completist. He is also offer life warranty for the installation. I am very pleased how efficient he had done his job. He also helped to fix my in-sink erator and recycled my old dishwasher and refrigerator. I would have him for other appliance project in the future."

"We had what I consider a standard vertical crack in our basement wall/foundation that needed repaired. We got a couple of quotes and Attack a Crack was the least expensive, came with a lifetime guarantee (others were 2-15 years) and the repair they did was less of an eye sore than what others planned to do. Two months later the seal has held and there hasn’t been any leaking. But I’m not concerned about the quality as I know they fixed another leak in our basement septic pipe years ago for the previous owner and there has never been an issue. I will call them first if we have other basement leaks."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Norfolk, MA

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.
