"Gabriel responded to me very promptly. I explained what I wanted and he came out the next day to review the project. He provided me with a proposal by the next day. It was very professional and concise. He did an awesome job, even came out in the pouring rain to get started as scheduled. I would definitely hire him again without hesitation. Great job!"

"ZR Landscaping was phenomenal. I could not have worked with a more professional company. Always on time and worked efficiently to complete the job. We had a flagstone walkway installed, sod, grass mat, landscaping for the entire front and back yard and to top it off, the most beautiful river rock ditch. Andy and or Zack was on hand every day for supervision and any changes were verified with us immediately. They were also great with recommendations and very trustworthy."

"James and his team are professional and responsive. James met with me on site and together we vrain-stormed a solution to my problem that would work with my budget. Ultimately I had a RR Tie retaining wall installed and regarding of my back yard. When I asked for a tie to be switched out due to aesthetics his team did so without any complaints. When I asked them to install an additional tie-back, again..they did it with no complaints. I would hire them again without hesitation."

"Tim the service technician did and outstanding job trouble shooting the problem to get our system back up and running quickly. Tim also discovered one of the sprinkler heads were broke and had parts in his truck to replace it on the spot. Tim also adjusted all the sprinkler heads to cover the areas minimizing wasted water. Great job and highly recommended."

"Josh was prompt and thorough and reasonably priced. Prep work was very good. The sod installers he uses could have done a neater job (sod is kind of choppy) but it should fill in. Overall still a nice job, would use again."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Taylors, SC

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.
