Jawad M. says, "I couldn’t be happier with the recent hydrangea planting in my garden. From start to finish, the quality of work was simply outstanding. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism — from soil preparation to plant placement and final clean-up. It’s clear that this team knows exactly what they’re doing when it comes to landscaping and working with flowering shrubs. The hydrangeas themselves are absolutely beautiful — healthy, vibrant, and already starting to bloom with the most gorgeous colors. The arrangement looks like something out of a magazine. They took the time to consider sunlight, spacing, and aesthetics, and it shows. My yard has been completely transformed into a serene, eye-catching space. What really impressed me was their attention to detail and the pride they take in their work. They didn’t just plant flowers — they created a long-lasting feature that adds real value and beauty to my home. If you’re thinking about adding hydrangeas to your garden or want top-tier landscaping work done, I can’t recommend this team highly enough. Professional, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what they do. A five-star experience all around! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"See more

Jennifer Hudspeth says, "We have a long driveway in the country (100 yds+). With the past heavy snow and severe drifting, our driveway became impassable even for our 4WD pickup. Called Freshscape for a quote. They immediately quoted the job using a maps app. They arrived less than 2 hours later and worked for several hours to clear our driveway. The job was completed exceptionally well. They used a frontloader as well as some hand-shovelling (near our garages) to clear a wider drive than a simple plow would have done and they were very careful to not disturb the driveway stone under the snow. Their attention to detail on something as mundane as snow removal spoke volumes of their professionalism. Will definitely use again for snow removal and all our landscaping needs!"See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Whether you rototill before laying sod depends on your preference, but your ground needs to be prepared for the sod to take root in the soil. A rototiller makes it easy to till up compacted earth so that new sod can easily take hold, but there are other methods you can do. Consult with a sodding professional to discuss which preparation steps should take place before laying sod.

Landscapers and sod installation specialists can lay sod. When choosing a professional to lay sod in your yard, read their ratings and reviews from customers. Also, search for photos that showcase actual work done by the pro. And always get cost estimates from several sodding professionals so you can get an idea of how much you should pay for their services.

Sod can be laid any time of the year, though the best time to do so is in the spring or early fall. During this time, temperatures are cooler but grass is still growing.

Summer isn’t ideal for laying sod (but still possible), as the high temperatures demand extra watering that can not only drive up your water bill. It can also make conditions ideal for mold and fungi.

There are differing opinions about this topic, which is why you should talk to a sodding professional near you to find out if it’s possible to lay sod over your particular lawn. In some cases, it might be possible. For example, some professionals say the new sod will kill the existing grass underneath and release nutrients that will benefit the new sod.

However, others believe the old grass will disrupt the sod's ability to take root in the soil, and it will die due to a lack of nutrients.

The national average cost to install sod is around $2,235 and prices typically range from $1,311-$3,808*, according to Thumbtack data. The type of sod you choose, your lawn size, and many other factors can impact how much you'll pay for sodding services.
