Will and his crew did a great job on my sod install project. I will definitely be calling on them again. Dalton and Peyton finished and cleaned up well. Good communication was easy on prices , timing , etc. Highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()

5-star experience from start to finish. Scheduling a quote online was incredibly easy, the pricing was transparent, and the entire crew was beyond professional. The quality of their work is incredible. They move quickly and efficiently while still paying close attention to the details. Any time I had a question, Will or someone on his team got back to me in a timely manner. I would recommend Gladiator Sod to anyone looking for sod or landscaping work. I wouldn’t hire anyone else moving forward. They have definitely earned my business for any future sodding or landscaping projects.Posted on Google![]()

I rarely leave reviews, but Will and his team absolutely knocked my job out of the park. It’s hard to trust someone with your home and landscaping projects but I’m so glad I did. The job turned out exactly like I had envisioned and Will checked in with me along the way to walk me through the process. 10/10 would recommend.Posted on Google![]()

Just had an approximate 4,000 square ft of zeon zoysia installed. Entire process went very well from getting a quote, getting work scheduled, and project completed. I had gotten 3 quotes- one provider was about 25% higher and another was slightly less than Gladiator SOD. I went with Gladiator SOD as I felt installing sod was more of their primary work versus an additional service that other landscaping companies may do on the side from time to time. Speaking with the project head on installation day, he confirmed with me that sod installation is probably 75% of their jobs. The sod itself came delivered from Super Sod, and you can tell it was freshly cut and in great shape. No issues at all there. The installation went smoothly, which included removing existing grass, grading work, and installation of new sod. Everyone was professional, helpful, and courteous. The site was kept clean and all the other little things you can think of or might worry about it were handled as they should be. Overall, great experience and would recommend. Picture is of the backyard day of completion.+0Posted on Google![]()

Great people. They did an excellent job. I would have them back again many times over if I need grass sid because they prep loaded and deliver the sod and installed. Worth every penny I spent.Posted on Google![]()

This was the recent experience of mine dealing with Will from Gladiator SOD and Landscaping, Lenoir, TN. I must say I was more than satisfied with the result. Everything starting from the very first phone call to the end of the project was handled professionally and honestly by Will using his expertise. Crew was prompt, did its best to meet every need and made every effort possible to do it perfectly. Landscaping that has been done for me and sods that have been installed in my yard have exceeded all my expectations with the high quality of service. One can feel how much Will enjoys his job and wants all his customers to be satisfied. Will kept me informed during the entire project and completed everything as scheduled. If you are interested in getting your landscaping project completed promptly with high-quality service, then I strongly recommend contacting Will and Gladiator SOD and Landscaping. I definitely will use their services for all future projects of mine.Posted on Google![]()

Gladiator SOD and Landscape has been building custom outdoor kitchens across East Tennessee since 2022, and every one is designed for how your household actually cooks and entertains. From full L-shaped builds with pizza ovens to compact grill stations with stone counters and storage, every build includes stone or brick surrounds, built-in grills, countertops, sinks, and storage, each one planned around how the space drains and connects to the house. We use freeze-thaw rated stone, properly sealed countertops, and drainage behind every wall, because an outdoor kitchen in East Tennessee has to stand up to clay-heavy soil, heavy rain, and winter cold. One in-house crew handles the entire project from design through final walkthrough, with no subcontractors.
Tired of hauling food in and out during every cookout? Our outdoor kitchen installations give you everything you need in one beautiful, durable, weather-resistant setup. Whether you’re hosting summer BBQs or cozy fall dinners, we create spaces that feel like an extension of your home.

Built to Last: We use premium stone, brick, and stainless steel components that withstand Tennessee’s seasonal shifts.
Custom Design: L-shaped, U-shaped, or island-style kitchens, we tailor layouts to your yard and lifestyle.
Fully Equipped: Add grills, side burners, sinks, fridges, and storage, everything your chef’s heart desires.
Integrated Landscaping: As full-service landscapers, we ensure your kitchen blends beautifully into your outdoor environment.
From suburban backyards in Knoxville, and Lenoir City to upscale patios in Brentwood, our team delivers polished craftsmanship and functional design. We also serve commercial clients looking to upgrade their outdoor hospitality areas.

Contact Gladiator SOD and Landscaping for a free design consultation and estimate. Let’s turn your vision into a backyard culinary escape.
Serving Knoxville, Lenoir City, Brentwood, and nearby communities.
Our outdoor kitchen installation crew works across Knoxville, Farragut, Hardin Valley, Powell, Karns, Maryville, Oak Ridge, and Lenoir City. Every outdoor kitchen install includes site prep, base work, utility runs for gas and water, stone or brick build, appliance set, and finish. If you’re searching for grill installation in Knoxville or a full custom outdoor kitchen, we handle the whole project in-house with our own crew, from first design walk to final cleanup.
Cost depends on the size, materials, and features you choose. A basic grill station runs less than a full kitchen with countertops, sinks, and storage. We walk your property, talk through the options, and give you a free, no-obligation estimate based on the actual build.
We build with weather-resistant stone, brick, stainless steel, and concrete, all rated for East Tennessee's freeze-thaw winters and heavy rain. Countertops are sealed against moisture, and every wall gets drainage behind it so the structure holds up for decades.
Most outdoor kitchen projects are completed in 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the scope and weather. One crew handles the entire build from start to finish, so there are no delays from subcontractor scheduling.
Yes. A cover like a pergola or roof extension protects appliances and lets you cook in any weather. We design integrated structures that tie the kitchen, the cover, and the patio together as one finished space.
A solid surface is essential. We build outdoor kitchens on paver or stone patios with a proper base and drainage so the kitchen sits level and the surface holds weight without shifting.
We do. We build outdoor kitchens for restaurants, HOA amenity areas, and commercial properties across Knoxville. Same crew, same standards, no subcontractors.
