I have been working in the tree business for a little over 3 years..been climbing for 2. I worked under a 25+ year climber for most of that time and I have done everything from hazardous tree removal, storm damage, preventative tree maintenance, to simple prune, shape, and thins. I’ve done many beautiful landscape design/installs, stone walls, patios and walkways as well. I reside in Swanton Vermont and have been working around the Franklin, Chittenden, Addison county area, but will make the drive just about anywhere depending on the severity of your need's. I am fully insured don’t hesitate to call, text pictures of your trees/landscaping needs or leave me a message I’m happy to help. I assure you an honest and fair quote, and safe, quality rope work!

My name is Jordan Wright, I was born and raised in Vermont, graduated high school from Brattleboro Union High school, and attend Castleton University now Vermont state University and played football there. I graduated with an undergraduate degree and a masters degree. I also currently still coach football over at the college. \n\nNow for the business! I have always had a passion for landscaping and working out doors! It wasn’t till I worked for the town of Brattleboro doing landscaping for them when I fell in love with mowing and the perfection that comes along with it! Fast forward to college I worked for a company local in Rutland! And man my love came right back! Fast forward to now! I am ready to take the big step of running my own company! Where our values are paying attention to the details, treating everyone like they are family, and leaving your lawn looking the best in the neighborhood! \nWith all that being said this marks the first step to achieving one of my goals!

"Rick installed a new metal roof on a large barn. He went over and beyond in not only installing the roof, but also securing old supports that have saved the barn. Rick and his crew are professional and did the job in a very clean and timely manner."

"We can't say enough good things about working with K. Bellavance Land Works & Hauling. Kyle was prompt and professional in answering our email request for a consultation, and listened carefully to our desired project plan. Once the project was defined, Kyle, and his project lead, Gene, quickly provided a schedule and detailed estimate in order for us to make our final decisions. Bellavance's very talented crew built beautiful dry-laid stone walls, installed a large garden area, granite steps, and large stepping stone walkways. Bellavance Land Works came to work when they said they would, worked hard, and completed this large project in a timely fashion at a fair price. Unlike many businesses, they didn't "disappear" to work at other sites in the midst of our project. They worked easily and cooperatively with Winterwood Post and Beam on a pergola installation that completed our project. Their work exceeded our expectations, and we could not be happier with the result. We will call Kyle in the future with any project work needed. We highly recommend Bellavance Land Works & Hauling."

"All of the repairs and installations were done in a timely and professional manner. The crew of two arrived on time and reviewed each of the projects that I needed to have done. After determining that the faucet needed some new O-rings and a new piece of fascia was required, one went and got the parts while the other performed the kitchen faucet removal and installation. The other repairs were quickly made with the new parts and everything looks and works great!!! I highly recommend this company for any projects that need to be done.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Waterbury, VT

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.
