“This is the third time I have used His Workmanship. What made His Workmanship catch my eye is the Christian mission. I’ve had the crew out here to do a fairly large project for a new rosebed and they’ve been very hard workers and made the job a breeze. I would definitely recommend His Workmanship for landscaping projects.” – Mark

This is the 3rd time I have used their service. They show up on time and ask questions when needed. I’ve always had great success with them!
I used crews from His Workmanship on 3 different occasions. Each time I was more than impressed. The guys worked diligently and cleaned up after themselves. At one point when a shift was almost over one of the young men said “Well, we have 15 minutes left - isn’t there something else we can do for you?” Hands down- I will use them every time.
Hired Will and his crew to clear out a garden and weed another area. I transported the weeds and old plants to the compost making 4 trips, so a lot of work was completed. I will hire again to work on the rain garden and 2 more gardens.
5 out of 5 Stars, no doubt.
Eric answered my questions quickly, respectfully and accurately.
Zack and Adrian were timely, thorough and kind.
His Workmanship lives us to their name.
The workers arrived promptly & immediately began what I had hired them to do. They worked efficiently & cleaned up after they were done.
Danny and Chris showed up early to the job. They are both professional, courteous and pleasant. They asked good questions during the job and did everything to my husband's expectations. He keeps saying, "It looks much than if I would have done it myself." Thank you His Workmanship!
I am so happy to find Eric's website of HIS WORKMANSHIP - Detroit area for labor services. As a gardener ages, it's hard to ask for help. Partly, it's because the vulnerability factor of letting workers come to your home and the quality of work that results (people don't wanna pull weeds) and how much is the cost.
I am a satisfied customer. I recommend this group of young people that are not afraid of "work".
I wish more older seniors knew about this group. There was prompt response from Eric on the services I required and I was on the schedule that week. The 2 guys assigned were wonderful in their cordial attitude and quality of the work preformed.
I will use this group again.

My home needed some spring clean up attention. I reached out to this landscaping service. Eric, contacted me right away. We set up a time within a few days. The workers were punctual. They were kind and hardworking. I set up for the time completed not the job completed. It was difficult to know how long things would take. I will be hiring them again soon and on a regular basis in the future.
A great organization to work with. Got back to us quickly. Work was done in a timely manner and the team that arrived were very kind, thorough and helpful.
We were so incredibly happy with the work that "His Workmanship" did. They were able to finish everything we wanted and we were so impressed with the results. Both guys were great! We would absolutely hire them again!
Will and Elijah worked like true professional landscapers. I just had to show them once on what had to be done; weed, spread 3 yards of cedar mulch front & back, remove old heavy rotted wood border, and insert new edging. They went right to work finishing sooner than the 4 hours I signed up for. Will and Elijah were the most courteous and conscientious in their work. I do have a big yard, and with the spread of all that cedar and the weeds gone ,I have the one of most beautiful and cedar fragrant yards in the neighborhood. And Eric, I consider my self a lucky guy for finding you and His Workmanship out of the blue to choose you, and you selecting Will and Elijah to do the job for me (us).
The 2 crew members that came out to work in my yard were very task-oriented and extremely conscientious of what needed to be done. I had a very big project going on, which required digging, moving heavy stones, mulching and some other challenging work that kept both of these young men on their feet for 4 hours.They weren't just hard-working they were polite and represented their company well. Both of these young men worked in my yard for 2 Saturdays in a row, and they did an incredible job. I wish more young people have their positive attitude and stamina.
They did a great job. I’d definitely use them again.
His Workmanship is responsive, quick and reliable. My team of two showed up on time, and were friendly, hardworking and capable. I have already booked them to come back.
These guys are the best. Extremely hard workers.
Efficient scheduling and on time polite and hard working workers. Would hire again
Such a breath of fresh air to have a company with trustworthy hard workers. Will for sure be reaching out for future projects!
I'v used these guys for various landscaping needs for the past couple of years. They are good guys who work hard and want to do a good job. They communicate well and a pleasant to work with.
They did a terrific job- they were on time and did a fantastic job on the project and cleaned up well
The crew worked quickly. I didn't have a project large enough for 3 crew members because they work effectively and at a steady pace.
We are pleased with our finished project!

Ready to inquire about sod installation in St. Cloud?

Frequently Asked Questions

In general, for sod installation labor only, it costs $1.00 to $1.50 per square foot. So, for example, if you need 1,000 square feet installed, then the sod installation cost will range from $1,000 to $1,500. It should be noted that removing and disposing of the old grass, purchasing and delivering new sod, regrading the lawn and installing sprinkler heads are usually considered extras that will add on to the overall price.

When you call a local sod delivery company, you should ask them if they can provide you with freshly cut sod that very day. Some shady sod delivery services try to sell you the old sod that’s been sitting there for 5-7 days. While it’s possible sod that old can survive, if you’re paying top dollar, you’ll want freshly farmed sod that has been cut within 24 hours.

Clear the lawn of all the current grass so it’s just bare dirt. Make sure the dirt slightly slopes away from the building structure. If necessary, add a 1-2 inch layer of new dirt such as pulverized screened topsoil with peat moss mixture. Condition the soil by cultivating and tilling the new soil into your existing grade. Use a metal rake to flatten out and level the soil. A lawn roller or power roller can be used to smooth out, settle, and firm the grade before the sod is installed.

When you lay sod, make sure the rolls are lined up so that there are no gaps in-between. The sod rolls should be flush, meaning they butt right up against each other. You should stagger the rolls of sod in a brickwork pattern. This makes it much harder to see the seams and makes the installation look more professional. If the sod roll happens to be too long, then just use a utility knife to cut off the extra part.

If the sodded area is on a steep hill, you will want to use galvanized landscape staples to secure the sod rolls in the ground. Lay the sod horizontally with the long edge of the sod strip parallel to the slope. These two steps will prevent the sod from detaching from the soil and sliding down the hill, which can happen on a very rainy day.

Yes, you should use a handheld steel tamper or a lawn roller to compact and flatten the rolls of sod with the soil. If you use a sod roller, you should roll it across your lawn in a grid-like pattern. This is best practice because it pushes the grass roots into the dirt on the ground. This serves as an adhesive to help the root come into contact with the soil and remove any air pockets.

You should water the sod within 1 hour of installation and then 1-2 times per day for the first week. Aim for the morning and afternoon if possible. Water until the soil is deeply saturated but not puddling. After 2 weeks of watering, feel free to walk on and enjoy your new lawn. By that time, the roots will be securely established in the dirt.

Some advantages to sodding are: immediate results, fast root establishment, immediate erosion control, and limited weeds. The advantages to seeding are: less expensive, long term quality, and more grass options. If you’re on a tight budget, you can try seed but the better choice is sod.

You should try to get a ballpark estimate on the total cost for your sodding project. Be prepared to answer questions about the dimensions of the areas that need sod as well as the condition of the soil. Ask the sod company how long they’ve been doing it and what their process is like. Google their company name to make sure they have good reviews online.
