"They arrived when they said they would. I was a little skeptical because their price quote was about $800 cheaper than the previous quote and they even threw in a French drain on each side of my house. I had a irrigation system installed in the front and backyard and they replaced the sod in the front Yard. I wish they could have been a little more clean with the digging because I am dealing with mud everywhere they dug in the back yard but eventually the grass will grow over now that it s getting watered regularly. The curb appeal has increased 300% IMO. I have been getting rave reviews since they finished the job. You will not be disappointed."

"Will Brown and his guys did a great job carefully removing a big tree from a very tight spot. Easy to work with and the crew showed up on time, with the right equipment, ready to work. Other contractors could learn a lot from the way Will runs his business. Highly recommend !!"

"Josh was prompt and thorough and reasonably priced. Prep work was very good. The sod installers he uses could have done a neater job (sod is kind of choppy) but it should fill in. Overall still a nice job, would use again."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Laurens, SC

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.
