"I needed an extensive clean up on all my beds and around my home and they made sure all my needs were met before they finished up. They did a very good job with communicating with me every step of the way. Everyone I talked to from the company was very respectful and knowledgeable."

"Really well. I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but I felt Green Home Installations earned this one. They helped take the ideas we had for our kitchen and turned it into something even better than we envisioned. We now have the kitchen of our dreams, and I could not be more grateful. Everyone involved from start to finish made the process so smooth, and are in LOVE with the results. 5 stars all around."

"Plan-It Green recently helped us with adding some landscaping updates and a hardscape porch and steps. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and have received numerous complements from neighbors. We have a semicircular driveway with an island in the front that contains a huge electrical box and other utility poles which are quite unattractive. The area was just very blah and we had lost a tree and some plants from our winter cold front. Jordan and his crew, Terry and Alex, installed a stacked stone raised bed within the island giving it 2 levels, planted a weeping cherry and other plantings, bushes to help hide utility boxes, and pea gravel in rest of island. They also added plantings to our other beds, some more boulders, mulch and a small waterfall. It all turned out beautifully! Jordan kept us informed and updated all along the way and Terry and Alex did beautiful and professional work. Would definitely recommend."

"First off I’d like to say I’m a very picky person and typically do everything myself, but a friend recommended landesman lawn care and assured me they were what I was looking for. And boy did they exceed my expectations! Very clean, precise and professional work with a great attitude aswell! Safe to say I’ve found my permanent landscapers, thanks Jesse!"

"Dillon gave a fair price for storm damage to an old structure. He was upfront with schedule and updated with delays. Final result was very satisfactory. All workers were professional. I will contact Stefaniak for future construction needs. So happy with results!"

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.
