"After careful consideration we chose Braley and Finnegan to do a landscaping project for us. They did an excellent job cleaning up and removing the plants in front of our porch. They then picked new plants for the front of our house that were low maintenance and would not overgrow like our previous ones. They also brought in any necessary dirt and mulched. We loved their work and decided to hire them to improve our lawn and for regular maintenance and mowing. Our lawn has improved drastically since we started working with Braley and Finnegan. They are our go to company for any work that needs to be done in our yard!"

Comprehensive Residential and Commercial Property Services to include the following: Lawn Care Mulch Delivery and Installation Spring/Fall Cleanup Leaf Removal Snow Removal.

"I have a fairly large piece of property. Prior owners didn't do any fall cleanup. You couldn't even remotely see the lawn or the driveway. Gutters were all overflowing with leaves and sticks, huge areas of bramble that had to be removed, hedges that ran the length of the property that were all seriously overgrown, and low hanging branches. Let me tell you, I got home today and i was in shock how absolutely amazing the yard looked. They accomplished soooo much work in a short period of time and it was simply beautiful! The price was very reasonable. I don't think I could have found any company to do a better job at a better price. Give these guys a shot, you will not be disappointed! Thanks Outdoor Property Services - you guys are amazing..."

Sod installations FAQs

Seeding is less expensive up front compared to sod installation. However, sod provides an instant lawn with minimal maintenance, while seeded lawns require extended care and can take up to two years to fully establish.

“To determine how much sod you need, first calculate your yard’s total area by sketching your layout and multiplying each section’s length by its width. Standard sod pieces measure 2 feet by 1½ feet, and one pallet covers 450 square feet. Divide your total square footage by this pallet coverage figure and consult your sod provider for precise estimates to ensure you purchase the correct amount.”

“New sod develops a strong root system within 10 to 14 days, so it is not ready for heavy use until this period is complete. Do not walk on or disturb the sod during this critical phase, as premature activity delays healthy rooting. Allow the grass to settle firmly to secure long-term lawn durability.”

“You can begin limited, careful use of your lawn two weeks after installation to allow initial rooting. However, refrain from heavy traffic or frequent mowing until six weeks have passed and the roots have fully anchored the sod. Consistent watering during this period is essential to promote robust development and long-term stability.”

“After installation, monitor your sod closely for balanced color and uniform moisture. Watch for brown patches or uneven growth, as these indicate dehydration or nutrient deficiencies. Maintaining a steady watering schedule and ensuring the sod remains undisturbed during its early stages are essential steps to guarantee robust root development and a healthy, attractive lawn.”

“The best time to install sod is during spring or fall. These seasons offer optimal temperatures and moisture levels that ensure rapid rooting and strong establishment. Avoid installing sod in winter when the ground is frozen or in summer when extreme heat can dehydrate the grass, as proper conditions are critical for a durable lawn.”
