"They were outstanding. Being new to the area we relied on Angies List to pick the company to repair our massive ice storm damage. So glad we went with this company.  They were very professional, showed up on time, totally cleaned up the storm damage, and the trees are now pruned so that they will recover and be healthier than they were before the storm.  You can trust anything Dale tells you and they will deliver more than you expect. I will be using them again and highly reccomend them.

"Reviewed a few companies before choosing Green Home installations. They were quick to come out for an initial estimate - pricing was fair - and showed up on time for their appointment to install the fence in one day. Thoroughly cleaned up after the install and delivered a great product. I am extremely happy with my fence, the work provided by their install team and their front office staff. Highly recommend them for your fencing needs."

"I interviewed four companies to understand who had the most experience. It was clear that Raisecrete has the most slab and foundation experience of the four companies. Their price was in line with the other three, but I was most interested in their experience. They communicated constantly prior to doing the job to make sure we had everything lined up. They were punctual and took the time to explain the process and discuss the best method of repairs. The outcome was exactly as they said it would be and I feel I have a permanent fix to the crack in my slab. He has a large crew that all worked hard the entire time. In addition, they checked out my entire foundation to make sure everything checked out. I highly recommend them and would use them again."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Oliver Springs, 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.
