"I hired Benn to put in some terracing along the back of our cabin where there is a steep slope and we had been dealing with erosion. He spent two days on the project and now we have a great 4-foot wide gravel walkway that has also taken care of our erosion issues. All communication was done in a timely way and they worked to keep the scheduled dates (even with some weather issues leading up to them) because it is a rental property and we had blocked off those days well in advance. Very happy overall!"

"Elijah did an excellent job installing multiple types of drains in my yard and landscaping. He had to be a champion shoveler to get through some of the hard clay and root systems! He is hard working and honest and I will be using him for future projects."

"I had a relatively small project involving gravel delivery, and in the course of discussion they learned I was needing to pick up railroad ties. They offered to save me the trouble by picking up and delivering the ties along with the gravel. I consider this extremely excellent customer service, especially considering the small nature of the service request! In addition, they came in at a far lower price than competitors - (& they provided the convenience of picking up the railroad ties!) Caleb, who made the delivery was especially helpful and professional! If I have any other landscaping need, I will be sure to go to them, and only them!"

"I had a great experience working with Nava Brothers Landscaping. They transformed the slope on my property, removed all the weeds, pine needles, and dead grass, then planted beautiful junipers and laid down mulch to give it a clean, well-maintained look. They also used river rocks to effectively help manage water flow and improve drainage, which was a big concern for me. Everything was done with great attention to detail, and the end result looks amazing. The crew was professional, efficient, and respectful of my property throughout the entire process. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality landscaping work!"

"They removed over 28 bags of leaves, blew the entire yard, and removed leaves from front wooded area and cleaned ditch by the road. This was done in remarkable time. Had a huge truck and vacuum. and sure saved our backs. Would have taken us days to complete. Trustworthy, friendly, very thorough and worked well with us. Definitely will utilize them again and telling all friends about them. BEST EXPERIENCE EVER."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Asheville, NC

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.
