"This company was great. Initially, the sod they put in on part of the yard was not good & they immediately replaced with great sod. We were very happy with the service."

"I called Richard one day and he was there the following day with his crew, ready to work. I hired him to do some landscaping in my front yard. I told him that I needed selections that would be low maintenance and he delivered on my request. He removed and replaced all of the bushes, planted some flowers, added mulch and integrated some beautiful rocks as accents. I hired him to do some landscaping in my backyard a few weeks later. I let him run with his vision to create something nice. I love it! He also went the extra mile during both projects. He noticed that I had some bare spots in my lawn so he seeded the areas. When he returned for the second project and saw that the areas still needed some help, he suggested using some sod. It made a huge difference. I was very pleased with both projects. Richard is very personable and very passionate about his work. I would hire him again."

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Angela Ransdell Cedar Park HOA"

"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.

"Put down new driveway stone, over 300 feet long. Installed river rock around the perimeter of our house. Removed leaves that had dropped over the winter. Cut grass for the first time this spring. A very nice and hard working family group did the work for Indy Work Landscaping. We are very happy with the results of hiring them."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Plainfield, 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.
