"Called, they were on the job within a few hours, the guy they sent busted his BUTT and got the tree down, sectioned Into moveable sizes, even helped me to load three big pieces that wouldn’t roll into his truck to haul off, and he cut the stump down good and low. They negotiated on the minimum price, and couldn’t have been nicer or more professional. Call Samantha, Blitz will take care of you the right way."

"I had Tarra and Doug come out and tear down fence I had that was in bad shape and needed replacing, I have 3 dogs that try and get out fence and dig. After speaking to them I decided to put a concrete ledge at bottom of fence to help with the digging of the dogs and it has help no problems of dogs getting out of yard. After fence was completed I ask if they would build me a walkway in the back area and it was completed and I love it. They are very professional clean up area everyday before they leave and employees seem very happy and professional. I’m very happy with all the work I have had done and will use them again and I recommend them for all services. I may have them put in a deck for the pool I maybe getting. Love links and logs all will use again. They take pride in the work they do and said if I have any problems with fence call them and they will fix it."

"These guys were great!! We had a delivery of a massive new front, all in one piece, very heavy. They handled it of total care and stored it in our garage with all the very long trim pieces for installation next day. Kind of an unusual item to deliver so was concerned about the glass, scratching, damage. Again, 5-star handling and very pleased!!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Pitkin, LA

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.
