"Jose is a very personable and talented landscaper. He responded immediately to my request for a quote and provided it the same day. Our yard was a mess as expected after replacing a septic drain field, so it needed topsoil, grading to restore water flow in the proper direction, and a new lawn. Jose and his team have obviously done this before and expertly restored our yard to it's original condition in about a day and a half. The 5,000 sq ft of sod installed blends in perfectly with the rest of the lawn and the 5,000+ sq ft seeded area is filling in great. Jose loves his work, does it extremely well, and truly enjoys helping people. I would recommend him to anyone and only regret that I didn't find him sooner."

"Daniel and his partner installed new appliances and tile in my kitchen, I had new counter tops installed as well in my kitchen and master bathroom. I also used John Krause for a repair to my shed from water damage again Daniel and his partner did an excellent job for me. Very please with Daniel and his work. I believe Daniel is a sub-contractor for John Krause, but none the less in my opinion he did really good work and communicated with every step of the way."

"This company is AWESOME.  My lawn was sodded.  I started in the back (new patio).  The tech walked me thru what needed to be done and my problem areas.    The cost per sq foot was in line with other estimates.  At one point after the service, I asked about brown spots.  A tech came out to inspect the lawn.  Since I was sooooo VERYYY pleased with the sodded area in the back.  I asked for an estimate for the front and saved, basically did without, for several months to have it done.  My lawns (front and back) are GORGEOUS! And just think it''s early April and still chilly.  I can't wait for the first cut --- get ready for a picture in Home & Gardens!  , I'm having them apply every thing else my lawn and 10 trees need, they leave not only the invoice but a comment to let me know what was done, what I have to do and how my lawn looks.  Oh, before I forget... when you call it's like everyone knows you personally - so nice and courteous and very patient in answering my questions.

"Each time that BOG has attended our home (~6 times annually) they provide us with a notice that they had been to our property, and insight into what was performed. Furthermore, they send us an email from the technician that identifies the services that were provided, items that they've noticed as troublesome, and recommendations to improve. Lawn care is a tricky thing and takes years to improve. I am the type of person that thrives off of instant gratification; therefore, this process has challenging. However, we have had designers come to our property since we've had BOG - and they've commented on the quality of our lawn and how healthy it looks. We truly value the work and efforts that BOG has put in - as it's definitely been noticed."

"Was only there 10 minutes. Had a poorly designed machine for aeration (holes widely spaced) and only made one pass, which was inadequate. Made no suggestions as to my needs. I guess you get what you pay for.

"I contacted Earth Friendly Services this morning and I immediately received a reply.  Phil contacted me and I asked for a proposal for installing my new light.  He responded and said he would be at my home in about 15 - 20 minutes.  His responsiveness was exact. He arrived in about 15 minutes. I showed him the light fixture and he said it was no problem and he could do it today.  I also asked him if he would also install a new electrical outlet in my foyer and again he said no problem.  Phil installed the light fixture and the electrical outlet that day and he did a fantastic job.  He was very professional and the quality of work was awesome.  I was also very pleased on the price.  I have put Earth Friendly Services number in my phone book and I will sure use them again.  Thanks Phil!

"My wife and I couldn’t be happier with our new patio, retaining wall and landscaping that Tillerman Gardens installed at our house. Jesse and his crew were amazing. We had a rough idea of what we wanted and Jesse took the time to help us design the patio so that it was uniquely suited to the space. There were so many little touches that Jesse thought through that we could have never imagined. We now have a lovely patio that both suits are needs and the space perfectly. His crew was prompt, hard working, polite and incredibly clean. The job took many days less than I expected. Jesse’s prices are fair - especially for the quality of work he does. He's upfront about how much everything is going to costs and the job is itemized in a detailed way which allowed us to fit the project to our budget. We cannot recommend Tillerman Gardens highly enough!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Solomons, 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.
