"Initial rep was great and informative. Felt comfortable with initial sale. Hardly had any contact from customer service except for the payments. There were several delays that we were not informed about unless we called to ask. Took 7 months before they showed up to begin project. Only 1 person was sent to build steps. Took a week. Hard worked, hardly took a break. Had to call again to see when they would come to pour patio. Never knew when they were coming, they just showed up. Hardly spoke with the homeowners. Inspection paperwork was just left on porch. Additional paperwork that is "required by the County" had to be completed by homeowner and taken to Court house to be notarized and filed and also provide a copy back to Long Fence. Time sensitive materials which added to homeowners to-do list. Gave this contract to LF on the surface of their history and appearance of a 'good local company' but should have stayed with original contactors in VA. Puddle of water forms when it rains"

Personally owned and operated Electrical Contractor

"Great, as soon as they identified that the breakers were not the problem he identified the circuit that was in a matter of minutes. Surprised the h*** out of me because if the breakers are not the problem this is going take some time to run down what the actual issue is. Not so, once the problem circuit was identified Ross's team began to fix and replace all damaged components. I am extremely pleased and will contact AEECO again if I have any other electrical issues."

Local trash removal company, provides excellent service at competitive rates. Visa, Master card and Discover accepted.

"DO NOT DO BUSINESS EITH THIS ORGANIZATION. They do not demonstrate honesty not integrity in dealing with customers. Bought a dishwasher with the "promise" that if it didn't work I would receive a full refund. Installed it, didn't work. The pump had frozen and broke the discharge valve. Uninstalled and returned on 1/14/2021. I was told that they had no cash on hand. Wrote me an IOU (carbon copy receipt that they retained) and said that someone would drop off my refund the next day.I made sure my address is written on the IOU. Nothing. Went to their location 3 TIMES, no money, someone will drop it off next day. Nothing. Called on 1/22/2021, again had to give my address and was promised that they would mail. Nothing. Called today 2/1/202, still not mailed and ask what my address (still written on the IOU) and asked that someone meet me at the Benzie County Sheriff's office to discuss fraud. Suddenly, they were interested in paying, but, still needed my address so they could mail. Gave 1 hour to drop off before I seek intervention. Finally dropped off the money. Do, if I hadn't forced the issue would they ever had paid? VERY FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES. BUYER BEWARE. RECOMMEND AVOIDING THESE PEOPLE ALL TOGETHER. NO HONESTY, NO INTEGRITY IS VERY APPARENT."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Ridge, MD

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.
