"They worked very hard to level and square the retaining walls and patios. We were very impressed by the lack of cutting corners. Our original patio and retaining walls were never properly installed and they appear to have corrected this problem. For years, we also had a drainage problem on the two sides of the house. They installed a French drain on one side and a basin drain on the other. Time will tell if this completely solves the problem, but the drains were working over the last two days of rain. We were so impressed by the quality of their work that we are having them come back to do a few more landscaping items.

"I'm planning on installing an above ground pool and I needed to order some sand to sit it on.  Once I provided the size, the office determined that I needed 7 tons.    The office worked with me to schedule a delivery time, and they showed up on time.  The  truck driver called me  about 10 minutes before arriving to let me know he was on his way.$40.00 of the total price was a delivery charge."

"Very well. Anthony gave an accurate estimate and was one of the few contractors I have contacted that was able to explain how he came up with the pricing. He respected the contract and never complained. He was very easy to work with - we were doing the plaster repairs, painting, etc; and never complained when we fell behind schedule. He isn't the cheapest, but it's not price that is important - it was value. He did things correctly (using permits, having the inspector come and sign off work, etc). I now have a properly wired house, nicely installed recessed lighting, smoke detectors, and am not worried about house fires. I will use him again for an additional work (finishing basement, etc)."

"Patrick, owner, was extremely helpful in determining what landscaping/grading was necessary to improve my property. He was pleasant, not hard sell, knowledgeable, and very fair in his cost estimate for the tasks. He and his staff were on time and professionally performed all the work for which we planned. They cleaned up all areas and the project turned out great! I would not hesitate to hire his company for other landscaping projects."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Unionville, MD

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.
