"I am very happy with the work G+G Overhead Doors did for me. I had a 16'x8' garage door to be installed, but not yet picked out. They helped me through the whole process of narrowing down my decision on a door style/opener style. The door I had picked wasn't in stock in the warehouse which is no big deal, but he worked with me and we got a better door than I originally picked out that was in stock. and ready to be delivered, with a better R-Value. They were very prompt in letting me know of any updates, and they were also very professional. They have followed up since finishing the install to make sure everything is still up to par, which everything is working just as it was the day of installation. Overall, 5 stars I would highly recommend them for a garage door installation."

"John originally came in to put in a koi pond and some trees for privacy in our backyard. He ended up transforming it! He executes to perfection, he put in a patio along with some great landscaping features and blew away our expectations. He is awesome to work with, always keeps his word, and is an absolute professional. We plan to have him back to resurface our patios and help with a number of other projects. When people see what he did, they are blown away. He is truly a master at his craft and we are thankful to have been able to find him to help us for years to come. I would recommend him with the utmost confidence"

"1.  I received a reminder call the day before.
2.  I cautioned him to be careful of my expensive gutter helmets while getting onto the roof.  He completely avoided them.
3.  He reported to me that he found about 4 inches of compressed soot at the bottom of the pipe connected to the furnace.  He said that should have been eliminated in my May check-up by the oil company (who installed and maintains the furnace).  My furnace should operate more efficiently now.  I have made a note to remind the oil company when they come next May.
4.  He was very knowledgeable and gave me verbal and written reports of his findings.
5.  He put everything back in place.  He was efficient, fast, and clean.
6.  I especially appreciated that he wrote in his report that the next recommended service was to be fall of 2016."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Riverton, CT

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.
