"Rauch Concrete is by far the best concrete company in the area. Super easy to work with, goes above and beyond to get the job done and I couldn't be happier with the results. A++++ and thank you Langley, Shara and crew!!! Prices are more than fair. The pad for my shop looks spectacular. This is the second project I've had done by Rauch and won't be the last. The crew always showed up on time and worked hard until the job was done."

"This was the first time we have had our decorative pond cleaned. Buckeye Pond Cleaning was very professional and pleasant to work with. They communicated well and discussed the process in detail with us. We were very happy with all aspects of the work and discussions with them. We were impressed with Brian's knowledge and attention to detail and appreciated how hard he worked. Our pond has never looked so good. In the process of cleaning, Brian found 4 frogs and 3 trapdoor snails we thought had been eaten by racoons. He carefully removed them all along with our fish to a large holding tank while doing to cleaning. We highly recommend Brian and Buckeye Pond Cleaning."

"Scheduled the work back in December. Had to chase them down to start come spring. The job never got completed, chased them around for two more months, and got several excuses why they couldn't come back out to complete work. The wrong size shrubs were planted and planted in wrong spot, 3 beds never got proper work done. Weeds came back in beds three weeks later. Verbally talking with Tim the ideas seem great but the execution was poor. I expected better service for the price."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Veterans-administration, 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.
