Final Walkthrough & Care Guidance
Sod Installation FAQ
What does your sod installation process include?
Our process includes site evaluation, ground preparation, grading, sod installation, and post-installation care guidance. We focus on doing the prep work correctly so the sod roots properly and lasts.
How long should I wait before using my new lawn?
We recommend avoiding heavy foot traffic for about two to three weeks. This gives the roots time to establish and anchor into the soil.
Does the sod need to be watered right away?
Yes. Watering should begin immediately after installation. Consistent watering during the first couple of weeks is critical for healthy root establishment, and we provide clear instructions to follow.
Is the sod suitable for the local Michigan climate?
Yes. We install sod varieties that perform well in Southwest Michigan, accounting for seasonal changes, soil conditions, and long-term durability.
Do you offer any type of guarantee?
We stand behind our work. If an issue arises that’s related to the installation, we’ll address it promptly and professionally.

G&D Landscape did an exceptionally good job upgrading the landscaping in my front yard. They were professional and completed the job ahead of time and within my budget. I’ll be using their services again in the future.

Highly recommend G&D Landscape! These young men are very responsive, work hard, do a great job and are fairly priced. I am very pleased with the landscaping projects they did for me. Besides removing rocks and building up ann old existing area, they also leveled out a spot in our yard and seeded it and planted a few plants for me. I will certainly reach out to Gideon and his team for any future landscaping. Thank you guys for making this easy for me!!

G&D Landscape graded the soil under our deck and added 6 cubic yards of river rock once the grading was done. The deck is over 500 sq ft and it doesn't sit high enough for a person to stand straight. The space under the deck looks great now.
