"We had a retaining wall installed when we had a pool put in 5yrs ago. The wall was sinking and was not serving its purpose. We had YYY&D come and gave us a quote which was similar to the 3 other received. We decided to use him and so happy we did! He removed our current wall and was able to reuse all the stone to rebuild. He reconstructed our retaining wall to do what is was supposed to do 5 yrs ago. They were prompt, reliable, friendly and had respect for our property. Neat and cleaned up and did a wonderful job! I highly recommend and I would use them again. Thank you! "

"We hired Mills Landscaping two different times recently. The first time was to cut down a few trees and have the stump removed. They did such an amazing job that I decided I need a few more things done. They came back and installed a border along my front my house for my plants and added some more gravel stones to my fire pit area. They also cleaned up the weeds which I hate doing! I highly recommend Mills Landscaping as they not only do an amazing job but they are extremely affordable!"

"Jeff was very responsive. He promptly returned all my calls and answered all my questions and concerns. The blue stone patio turned out beautifully. The dry creek bed has helped with the drainage and wet muddy areas of the yard after a rain. Some of the plants he installed did not do well but we had one of the hottest summers on record and that contributed to a lot of pest and disease control problems. Jeff agreed to replace those at the appropriate time."

Customers say: Super punctual

"This is the third time we've hired Kevin and we won't go anywhere else - Kevin is responsible for most of the landscaping for our house. He's honest, trustworthy and dependable. His team's work is excellent and I cannot recommend him enough. We had a major renovation done on our house which transformed our backyard quite a bit. As a result, we began having some major drainage problems. My wife and I had envisioned adding some hardscaping to help an area that simply wouldn't grow any grass or plants. Kevin came by and assessed the situation and recommended a catch basin and drainage solution. In addition, he recommended against hardscaping and moved towards installing tamped gravel, with some stepping stones, as it would be much more economical. I couldn't envision it myself, but I trusted Kevin and the work came out even better than we could have imagined - we've gotten many compliments already. I've already recommended Kevin to our friends and was glad to hear one of our neighbors say great things about him as well. We'll only go to Kevin for any future landscaping needs."

"After building our new home last year, there were several landscaping projects on our to do list. What started as a small list eventually turned into a rather large project, which we had Jose and his team handle. The final scope of the project was a some land clearing/grading, tree removal, a full yard irrigation system installation, planting 75 trees/shrubs, and @ 10.000 square feet of sod installed. Throughout the entire project Jose kept in contact with updates on when his team would arrive to complete each phase of the project, and he worked around other contractors handling other aspects of the project (fence installation). His team arrived when promised, often early, were always very professional, and did excellent work. We've come to trust Jose's opinion, and asked his thoughts on certain aspects of the project often throughout the process - from the type of trees recommended for privacy to the best placement of the trees. We have been so pleased with the way the project turned out! Based on our experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Jose and his team to anyone else. Jose will be the first person we call for any future landscaping projects!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Pineville, NC

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.
