"Copper Canyon did a great job installing the drainage pipe from an area of our back yard that was constantly soggy, to the lake about 150 ft away. They completed the work in a day, left the area neat, and solved our drainage problem. I would not hesitate to use them again for landscaping services."

Excavation - stump removal, land clearing, grading, trenching, footers, foundations, basements, utility work, drainage systems and swales - have been in the business over 30 years

"If you want a professional job completed this is your ticket. I needed surface runoff captured and redirected. Then my gravel driveway regraded then fresh stone put down. This gentleman was very meticulous in everything he did. He shot laser lines to ensure water ran off properly. Once he completed drainage, the detailed work preparing the driveway was detailed. He used 3 types of stone, combining the different sizes was to bind all inorder the compaction would be a solid drive. Then he bordered the driveway by fixing 4x6"x12' timbers and secured with lengths of rebar, to contain all the stone. He DID NOT cut any corners. He DID NOT short on materials. This gentelman was really detailed and took his time working this project. YES I would recommend him again. This was $$$$ well spent. GROUNDHOG, Thanks Again !!!"

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.
