“I have known Ian for over 10 years and have worked with him on various projects during that time. His professionalism and ability to design and visualize a project is impressive. They are well thought out and detailed. He is a pleasure to work with and we will continue to work with him on projects in the years to come.

“Dean and his team did a great job! They listened to our current needs and long-term "wants" and collaborated to come up with a plan that we all agreed on.

LandCraft
Sod Installers in Minneapolis
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsJuly 25, 2021
“We hired LandCraft for a large project that included relocating our sidewalk, a new paver patio, drain tile, a rain garden, grading and new sod. Jack came up with a very creative design for our winding path, back patio, and rain garden that made great use of the space of our odd wedge shaped lot. Overall during the project the communication wasn’t great. Landcraft made sure to follow through with any issues we had to make sure our new yard project would be a joy for us.”

Pudas Landscape and Design
Sod Installers in Minneapolis
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 19, 2016
“I would recommend Pudas Landscape for anyone! We had a unique project and we were having a hard time coming up with a solution that would work with our space. They spent a lot of time evaluating the space and coming up with options for us, before we had even decided to work with them. I was very impressed with the time that they spent to come up with the perfect design, and to make sure everything would be done exactly right. Even with the time that they spent, they were very competitively priced. We will continue to work with Pudas for any landscape projects that come up because of their attention to detail. Plus, they are great people and we enjoyed having them around!”
Hillside Design & Landscape
Sod Installers in Minneapolis
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 29, 2018
“We used Hillside Design for a major project involving both the front and back landscaping of our home in the spring of 2016. Nick (owner) and his crew were very professional, pleasant, and easy to work with. Additionally we found Nick to be an honest man with integrity who takes pride in his work. Our project involved two paver patios, a small sitting wall, major plantings, installing an arbor, grill station, bubbler rock, and landscaping lighting. The quality of his team's work on our project was very good and we are happy with the final outcome of our project. Overall, Hillside's work on the front and rear landscaping have transformed our home and we love it. Finally, once your project is done, you still will hear from Nick. The following spring after our project Nick called to check in on how the project fared through the winter and came out to correct a couple of minor issues to our satisfaction. I would strongly recommend getting a bid from Nick if you are considering a landscape project; I think you'll find his bid competitive and you'll be sold on him.”
Arvold Landscaping & Design inc.
Sod Installers in Minneapolis
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 9, 2017
“Nathan and Josh helped us make the most creative and beautiful landscape using boulders to retain our hillside, trees, grasses and flowers. They were able to imagine and execute a difficult high retaining wall and steep steps. Their whole plan was never compromised because it was too much work or too difficult. Josh created a beautiful railing that just completes it all. Every day, all summer neighbors would stop and say that they loved it.”

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.
