"Extremely well. The owner and his employees were considerate and always concerned with our property and that of our neighbor. In a relatively small space  their creative ideas and use of colors and patterns turned an eyesore into a place we can enjoy and share with family and friends. The project was completed in four days and a pool that was in close proximity was as pristine as the day the project started. The work is hard and tedious and we greatly appreciate their patience in answering our questions and keeping us informed on their progress, and what was coming next. Good folks, fun to be around. It took us a while to find Grounds
Quality Lawn Care and it was worth the wait.

"I called Dale after stalling on getting a stump ground from last fall when I lost a tree.
He was upfront with the cost and went over the depth and size of the area that would need to be worked on.  Since it was not a time sensitive issue he stated he would stop by sometime in the next week to take care of the stump.
I happened to be home for a door install when he came by and took care of everything.  I spoke with him for a few minutes and he even gave some advice for a tree in the backyard.

"Don was at my house to evaluate my lawn and provide an estimate within hours of calling. Don seemed very knowledgeable about lawn care and was enthusiastic about sharing that knowledge at the time of the estimate and with each treatment throughout the year. Although I had mentioned that my lawn might need a complete (and expensive) renovation, Don did not try to convince me to go with that more expensive service. Don and I were on the same page about the general warming trend and continuing water problems in Indiana, so he was able to recommend a blend of seed that will be more heat and drought tolerant than the Kentucky blue grass mixes that have historically been recommended for this area. After I get a couple more quotes, I will be choosing a company. If I go with Greenwood's Finest, I'll update my report."

"Very well.  The Landscape designer is professional, kind and very knowledgable.  Worked the plan around my likings...cut flowers, colors and deer tolerant plantings.  During installation the head of the team was professional, clean and kept me informed during the whole day of planting.  Everything except a bit of ground cover did not make the winter.  Ground cover is being replanted in June free of charge.  Recommend booking your spring clean up early as the company schedule is very busy. Highly recommend this company!

FAQs for sod installation projects in Paragon, IN

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.
