"Ron was very professional from the start to finish. I had a blocked basement drain repaired and a new day light drain installed to this basement drain. The work was outstanding. The basement doesn't flood anymore. Thanks Ron for a great job well done."

"I have used Di Scala General Contractors for many different projects over the years - interior painting, finishing a basement, building a deck, mowing, plowing and most recently a living room renovation. This family room renovation involved tearing out wood paneling, installing drywall, rerouting radiators and building built-in bookcases. The crews are always diligent, careful, clean and polite. I highly recommend Di Scala General Contracting."

"Victor was referred to us by friends and he did not disappoint. He was not the least expensive option to us but his track record speaks for itself. The planting?s and masonry his crew installed were beyond what we could have imagined. Loving my yard. Don?t hesitate to hire this company. Leo S"

"My husband and I were beyond pleased with the work that Michael Hull from SVL LLC and his crew did for us at our home. We initially had ideas of what we thought we were looking for. He was able to create a space that not only looks absolutely amazing to the eye, but kept within our price point. The patio and walkway was created and has made life easier for our parents to get around when they come to visit. My father-in-law walks with a walker and he walks over with ease.
Michael is very creative and uses his talents to make a beautiful space. We were also so happy with the quality of the stone received. Michael put in sod in our backyard surrounding the patio and put in plants and bushes. As we sit on our patio we can't believe what a gorgeous space we now have and can't even remember what it looked like before Michael came in. Feel free to reach out to us. We would be happy to show you our new outside living space.
If you need a patio, walkway, landscaping, sod, leaf removal, etc. he's your guy!"

"John and his team did an excellent job. John always answered my calls/text and kept me well informed of the whole process. He worked around my schedule. His team was very professional. They were always on time and kept the work area very neat. I will definitely give him a call for the next project. They removed the old driveway and retaining wall, installed a new drain, installed a new retaining wall, put down base layer, and then a new asphalt driveway."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Winchester-Center, CT

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.
