"Byrd and his team transformed my backyard to an area that is now blissfully beautiful, functional and we retreat to most evenings. It truly was nothing but a mudpit before. They did a great job - drainage, retaining wall, patio, sod and garden areas. His team showed up at 8 am every day and worked HARD until 6pm...in August with high temps and humidity. They were polite, conscientious and dedicated to making it an awesome transformation. I will be having the team back to do my front yard next year. Thank you Byrd and team - I love my new space!!"

"Magic Landscaping did an amazing job installing my sprinkler system. Marvin kept me informed of all steps of the project and he answered any questions I had in a timely manner. I felt at ease throughout the project and Marvin really came through for me!! I was putting this project for many years but I am glad I found this company. Friendly, professional and genuine are three words that sum up Magic Landscaping. I would hire them again for future projects. I am very selective and I would recommend this company to anyone!!"

"We recently hired American landscaping for a landscaping and decking project, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. They executed the plan exactly as defined and stayed on schedule. Communication was excellent throughout, and they were incredibly accommodating and willing to pivot when we requested a few changes mid-project. ​Ruben and team installed turf, landscape rocks and plants to finish our backyard renovation while Roberto replaced our old deck with Trex and built a brand-new floating deck that looks great. Both of them were highly professional and stayed strictly within the original scope of work; they never pushed for unnecessary add-ons, though we really appreciated when they suggested small enhancements that actually improved the final result. We highly recommend them for both landscaping and decking needs!"

"The entire process was quick and professional. The two day prep and pour began on the date scheduled. The pricing for our large project was very reasonable. The foreman communicated the project plan clearly and stayed in contact with us through the process. We look forward to having M&G come back when we are ready to replace more of our driveway. 5 star company!!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Smyrna, GA

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.
