"I was very impressed with the work, good communication throughout the project. Price was for construction of the stairs and purchase and installation of pavers and stone behind the home. I purchased timbers and bricks used on stairs."

"I requested a quote to remove a pine tree and large overgrown wild tree/bush on a Monday and Dale was out the next day to provide a quote.  I got 4 quotes total and his was $45 less than others and since he has great reviews here on AL, I chose A Better Tree & Landscape.  When I called to schedule I was told Dale would call me within a few days to let me know when I could get on the schedule.  Sure enough, he did call and I got scheduled for the following Tuesday.  It was very rainy on Tuesday and he called to let me know because of the rain it would be Wednesday.  I completely understood and appreciated the phone call.  They came on Wed and while he was here I asked for a quote to remove several wild trees that were growing in our existing wood fence.  Since we are replacing our fence this month, I would need him to come back and take those trees down and grind the stumps.  He surprised me by saying he could do it while he was there since that fence was coming down anyway he could get the trees out and get to the stumps.  He gave me a very reasonable price for the additional work and I agreed.  Both guys worked very hard until the job was done.  I walked the property with Dale afterward and everything looked great.  They hauled away everything they cut down and filled in and raked where the holes were from stump grinding.  Other than our lack of trees, you would never even know they were here it was cleaned up so well.  I will be using them again for future needs and would highly recommend.

"Very well.  The Landscape designer is professional, kind and very knowledgable.  Worked the plan around my likings...cut flowers, colors and deer tolerant plantings.  During installation the head of the team was professional, clean and kept me informed during the whole day of planting.  Everything except a bit of ground cover did not make the winter.  Ground cover is being replanted in June free of charge.  Recommend booking your spring clean up early as the company schedule is very busy. Highly recommend this company!

"We are new to the area and were unsure who to call for yard clean up and dirt haul away after a fencing install. We came across Heath Outdoor LLC on Angies List and decided to give them a try after recieving two bids that were way out of the price range we were wanting to spend. They were very friendly and professional, and incredibly price competitive! We did not hesitate and booked our job with them right away. The crew that did the work the very next day (excellent turn around time!!!) was prompt and efficient, and very nice. Not to mention the phenomenal job they did! They used hand tools and were very gentle on our new sod, leaving our yard clean and our grass in great shape! We will definitely be returning to Heath Outdoor for our future landscaping needs! I cannot speak highly enough about them!!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Thorntown, IN

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.
