"Dan and his team did an outstanding job with our new landscaping install. The team was very punctual and tidy, cleaning up everything at the end of the day even if they were going to be right back bright and early the next morning. Dan did a great job re-working the plan slightly to make sure the end result was perfect. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the whole process, and we wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"Mario and his crew did excellent work. They arrived on time and worked fast on a hot humid day. Everything was cleaned up as they went and nothing left behind. I can't believe it was all done in 8 hrs. I highly recommend them and will hire again when needed."

"Wonderful experience with pool installation....all the way from the sales/design to the installation team/work crew. Dan Lynch's design breathtaking. Tyler Davis, project manager, was always on top of everything. Josh was an absolute workhorse, showing up every single day and took care of every detail and request. Entire team extremely professional throughout the entire process. Could not have asked for anything more. Would rehire in a heartbeat!"

"I left a message and my call was returned within the hour.  Scheduled the appt for Don to look over my foundation in the back corner of house to see if a crack was a serious issue.  Don showed up on time and was very professional and friendly.  Looked over the crack and said it was nothing serious and told me how I could fix it myself.  Another company wanted to charge me $3100.00 to fix the crack.  I'm glad I called Hicon Inc. for a second opinion.  I would definitely use in the future for any other work.

"Mr. Mantz and his employees trenched along the fence line in my side yard. This area often captured and retained large quantities water following heavy downpours .
Once the trenching work was completed, Mr. Mantz and crew shoveled in a substantial layer of stone, installed drainage pipe, connecting it to an existing line, covered the pipe with more stone and installed a drainage basin nearer the front of the house to complete the install.  To ensure that quick and effective drainage will occur during heavy rainfall, decorative rock was placed on top of the completed ditch.
Mr. Mantz did an outstanding job communicating with me throughout the entire project.  He scheduled Ohio Utilities Protective Services to ensure that all underground utilities were properly located before starting the dig. I was impressed with the extra effort taken  to keep the work area relatively mud free by placing the trench dirt on top of tarps. Once all backfill was complete and tarps removed  the work area was left remarkably clean.
Mr. Mantz and his employees were always prompt, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend Mantz's Lawn and Landscaping

"I can’t say enough great things about Cincinnati Lawn Services, and the owner Jeremy. I hired them to install a patio and Jeremy was professional, polite, and amazing to work with. He walked me through picking out the right pavers and took a trip to the nursery together to pick out the plants for the landscaping. I was so pleased with their work that I hired Cincinnati Lawn Services to handle year round maintenance for my lawn. They do a spring and fall cleanup, as well as lawn mowing, trimming, edging, and tree maintenance. The guys are always reliable, professional, and friendly. Pricing is also very fair considering the ease and quality of work this company preforms."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Springboro, OH

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.
