"Currently this is a father-daughter team that work really well together.  They arrived promptly and were sure to keep me posted telephonically for work appointments.  Dave has a quick understanding of tool & assemblage requirements, even with equipment he is initially unfamiliar with.  They did not waste time in order to extend pay periods, they were efficient and a pleasure to speak with.  I would suggest sending equipment nomenclature/info so they can research operational methods before appointment; I failed to do so but they still figured it out and it works wonderfully.  Its a storage space in garage and am maxing out the weight without concern if it was installed right because I know it was.

"i am always anxious when hiring someone to do job. I was pleasantly satisfied with the work done by Diego's Group. He kept his appointment on the time agreed upon. His group were all professional when dealing with me. i was concerned at first with my shed that the tree was next too and the privacy fence. I shouldn't have worried. they did not cause any damage to any of my property. They worked safely and efficiently while removing the tree. They cleaned up the yard very nicely, even blowing off my deck after the job was completed. i have no hesitation in recommending this company for any job you have. They gave me a fair price and did the work agreed upon. If you need a standup company to do any tree work, i highly recommend this company"

"I Hired Barnes to come out to my home in Shelbyville to remove some trees that were either dead or damaged and in danger of falling on the house/barn. The reprehensive was here in a timely fashion to give us an estimate. There prices are fantastic! and the personnel are wonderful to work with. The project was completed and finished well. I could not be happier. I would recommend you hire this group. The value of the services they provide is well worth the money they charge and they are have the best price of all the landscaping/tree removal companies I called. Can't loose with them!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Saint-Mary, KY

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.
