Featured Reviews for Sod Installers in Dover

Bayberry & Co
Sod Installers in Dover
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 22, 2014
“Bayberry Nurseries helped us chose a unique tree for our home landscape. The Bayberry associates harvested, transported and replanted our Paviflora on our property. They were professional, friendly, efficient, detail oriented, positive happy energy, hard working and a pleasure to have. I kind of feel they are like the landscape geeks! You know, the people who get really excited about plants and trees and know just way too much about them! This unique experience of choosing materials that are growing in the ground and have to be harvested was such a beautiful, joyful process. It's as if they not only care about the people, but they truly care about the trees and environment too. Justin really spent a lot of time to make sure he matched us with the right tree. We feel as if we have adopted into our family, a living energy that we will be happy to care for and watch grow. It was so easy!”

“Steve Mitchell & Nature's Elite Landscaping did an excellent job for us, providing complete Landscaping around our new home. He worked closely with us, listening to, and understanding our wishes, then providing professional advice as to how best achieve our goals.

Belknap Landscape Company

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 11, 2014
“Belknap helped us to establish a lawn, did tree work, clean up and did a major landscape design on our property. We wanted to use indigenous plants and to create a natural riverbed for run-off. Our main concern was to protect our lake. They were amazingly professional and really understood what we wanted.”

“Jack and his crew have been servicing my lawn for 3 summers now. Last summer I wanted to have a complete update to the landscaping at my house. I called up Jack and he was incredibly helpful in walking me through the project and ensuring I was pleased with the design. I am very happy to work with Garden Guys Landscaping. They are a reliable and respectable group. It is nice to have a landscaper who gets the job done at a fair price.”

C Parks Inc.
Sod Installers in Dover
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 19, 2017
“We hired CParks to install stone retaining walls in the front or our house and stone walls and patio in the rear of our house. We were so happy with the way it all turned out. Because of the large of amounts of ledge in our yard it was no easy project. They were able to incorporate the existing ledge into the beautiful stone walls and even worked a fire pit into the design. It transformed our unusable yard into a great place to hang out with friends and family. We couldn't be happier!”
Landtech Landscaping
Sod Installers in Dover
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 2, 2018
“This is a LONG overdue review considering we have had our new pathway from our driveway to our front door for a little over a year now! As soon as my husband realized there was no way he could dig the hole we needed in two hours like he claimed he could... Adam showed up with an excavator and made quick work of it. He was very professional, easy and great to work with. He made sure we had all of the right materials and placed every brick meticulously. He spent a lot of time making sure the pathway would be completely level and have a gradual slope to our driveway. All in all we love our pathway and I have no doubts it will last a long time. We would absolutely hire Adam again! (He built the pathway only, the stairs were existing)”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 29, 2019
“We hired Stewart Bell, of Tree and Stone LLC, to design and install our front walkways. We were blown away by his promptness, attention to detail and preciseness. His work is impeccable! In addition, he gave us great suggestions and also stayed exactly on budget. The entire project ran extremely smoothly, and we absolutely love the end result! Not only have we recommended him to friends, but we will be using him again to design and install our back patio. Amazing contractor!”
W.T. LeRoyer Landscape & Design
Sod Installers in Dover
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 21, 2014
“We have worked with W. T. LeRoyer Landscape & Design on two projects so far and the final result was better than we could have imagined! The first project was to fill in our pool, regrade and redesign our backyard. It came out beautifully and we now have a level, well landscaped and fresh backyard. The second project was to rebuild our front retaining walls and change our front walk way and beds/landscaping. Our new retaining wall looks so naturally perfect that I love seeing it every time I pull into the driveway! The stones that Will used were natural to the New England area and it shows. He is truly an artist and is very talented. The walkway he reinvented for us is inviting and clean. We supplemented with additional plantings in our new beds and front yard. Will took the time to meet us at a local nursery and walked around with us to help us find the right plants we were looking for as well as provide suggestions. We look forward to working with Will in the future on our next project!!”

Landscaper FAQs
The duration depends on the lawn size and preparation needs, but most residential projects are completed within 1-2 days. Larger or more complex landscapes requiring significant soil preparation or custom solutions might take longer. Consultation with your installer will provide a more precise timeline based on your specific situation.
Selecting the right type of sod involves considering your local climate, soil type, sun exposure, and water availability. Common types include Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine, and Fescue, each with specific care requirements and benefits. Professional sod installers can provide guidance based on soil testing and local experience, ensuring the sod type matches your environmental conditions and maintenance preferences.
Homeowners should clear the lawn area of debris, furniture, and toys. Marking out sprinkler heads, utility lines, and similar obstacles can prevent damage. Ensuring easy access to the lawn area for large rolls of sod and equipment is also helpful. Discuss with your installer if additional steps like old lawn removal or soil treatment are needed before installation.
Installers use their experience to address challenges such as uneven ground (by leveling and compacting soil), poor soil quality (through amendments or topsoil), shade (selecting shade-tolerant grass types), and drainage issues (installing drainage solutions or grading the lawn). They assess your site-specific challenges during the consultation to plan effective solutions.
Yes, eco-friendly options include selecting drought-tolerant grass types to reduce water usage, opting for organic soil amendments, and choosing local sod farms to decrease transportation emissions. Discussing these preferences with your installer can help identify sustainable practices that align with your environmental values.
After installation, itʼs crucial to follow the watering schedule recommended by your installer, generally involving deep watering to encourage deep root growth. Avoid walking on new sod until itʼs firmly rooted, and begin mowing when it reaches recommended height. A maintenance plan including fertilization, aeration, and overseeding as needed will help your lawn thrive long-term. Consult your sod installer for a personalized care plan.
