Green Brothers Landscaping is primarily a Design/Build landscape company, meaning we typically start with a creative custom design (or redesign) for your property along with a proposal for installing it. The work can be done in phases or all at once. The work is always done right. Plant installations, hardscaping, natural stone, water features along with drainage solutions, irrigation and lighting. Our staff designer has been teaching landscape design at a local university for 20+ years. Outstanding design, creativity, quality and integrity would encapsulate who we are. Delighting our customers is important to us and we love making things beautiful and functional. Contact our owner, Scott Barker, for a free consultation.

"We chose Green Brothers for our entrance walk project, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome! From the very beginning, the team impressed us with their professionalism, craftsmanship, and commitment to excellence. It was clear they take immense pride in the quality of their work and genuinely care about client satisfaction. We came in with a rough idea of what we wanted, and the Green Brothers team elevated the design, offering creative improvements that made the final result even more beautiful and functional than we imagined. Throughout the process, communication was clear, respectful, and timely. The crew showed up when they said they would, kept the workspace clean, and completed the project on schedule. Since the walkway was completed, we’ve had numerous neighbors stop by to ask who did the work, and they’ve all commented on the excellent craftsmanship and elegant design. We are incredibly happy with our experience and the final product. "

FAQs for sod installation projects in Oak Ridge, TN

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.
