"During the estimate, while I was narrowing down my decision, and during the install, Sergio listened to and addressed my concerns. He was very easy to work with. It was a fescue sod install around 3,000 square feet which required him to remove St. Augustine in the back and work around existing fescue in the front. Itâ s been a week and everything looks great except for two pieces of sod. Thinking it was the sod, not the install. If those pieces donâ t make it, Iâ m confident heâ ll make it right."

"We were a bit anxious about doing such a large job with someone we found on the internet but Top Notch really came through with excellent work and a great outcome! Their bid was reasonable and their work was excellent. We received a sophisticated system that adjusts automatically to weather information delivered through the internet. The sod looks wonderful! It was installed immediately after it was harvested and has completely latched and continues to thrive. We've received numerous complements and inquiries about the type of sod. John had walked us through choosing the type of grass and we are very happy with our selection. The backyard, which was seeded, is looking much better now with grass that matches the sod. Top Notch also installed a substantial drainage mechanism for our yard, connecting a downspout to the rain sewer and also creating a large french drain. This also works beautifully, keeping our lawn dry whereas before it was chronically muddy. I came up with some new ideas after the job started and they were happy to add brush hogging to the original contract. Thanks to John and the team for a great-looking yard!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Spring Hope, 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.
