"Joe and his  two man crew were punctual, polite, knowledgeable, proficient and efficient. They arrived with all the equipment, heavy and light, to get the jobs done.  They communicated well. Joe was thoughtful about the best way to save a tree and proposed a Early yesterday morning it was raining and Joe contacted me before they were due to arrive, letting me know that he was going to wait a little while to see if the rain stopped before coming over with his chipper , grinder, and bucket truck.. The weather did clear and they worked without stopping all day until the job was completed and the yard was cleared of debris. I was absolutely pleased and would not hesitate to use Earthworks in the future. In fact, I will be using Earthworks to install support cables for a large tree as soon as we can schedule it. They were a great crew and worked well and carefully together."

"Everything went very well! Nick planted some ground cover, installed stepping stones, repaired our irrigation system and maintains our lawn on a regular basis. Everything was done very much to our satisfaction. He is punctual and will always call if he is delayed.

"A very professional and complete job. Also had this contractor paint the interior of my home. Removed all the old rotted wood re-secured the stringers comma cut and installed new deck board. Absolute perfect job. Cleaned up after the installation with not a single piece of scrap wood left lying around. Highly recommend Daniel. I've already made arrangements for him to paint my entire exterior"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Mars Hill, NC

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.
