"Marcial was fast and efficient. He cleared the weeds and debris from the yard, fixed and / or relocated some sprinklers, and laid sod all in less than 2 days on a 500 square foot area. I would recommend Marcial to anyone. He did exactly what we needed at a very fair price."

"The team at Idaho Landscape Creations moved sprinklers, added a drip line, built a berm, and picked up and planted trees in my backyard. David had a quote to me on the same day I inquired about the project and was available to answer questions. The work was done significantly faster than anticipated and the whole crew was friendly and easy to work with. 12/10!"

"Great work! I will definitely hire them again for other work on my property and will highly recommend this company to others in the future. He dug up a nightmarish patch of bushes, rocks, and plants; smoothed it all down and laid beautiful sod. He also cleaned up the area before leaving. I couldn't be happier! I appreciated the regular communication via phone/text to keep me apprised of the work schedule and the after-care of the new sod. Ethan is a very hard-working and knowledgeable young man."

"After interviewing five landscape companies, I chose Modern Landscape and Design for a complete gut and installation of everything new on my one-third acre yard; and every day during the project and since its completion, I am profoundly grateful for having selected Nick Louie and his team. The scope of my project required a wide range of knowledge, successful experience and all-encompassing skills. A new sprinkler/drip-line system to supply 15 trees, approximately 40 shrubs/grasses and 2,500 s.f. of sod, spanning the entire lot and along a 135' driveway, was installed. Drainage issues were remedied with a yard drain, proper sloping, pop-ups, good dirt and parging a foundation wall. Nick listened attentively to my ideas, provided a comprehensive, in-color list of trees and plants and made recommendations for those that do well in this region, would be appropriately sized for the various areas of the yard and the house itself and would provide the desired harmony, privacy and flow. In the midst of rain for days on end resulting in mud and muck everywhere, when I struggled to see the big picture and questioned some of my choices, Nick patiently listened, responded promptly to texts and emails and conveyed every detail, modification or concern of mine to his crew. A couple of Nick's suggestions regarding the shape of beds and adjacent sod at the front of my house and his recommendation for the size and color of rock were outside of my somewhat staid, traditional ideas, but he was absolutely spot on; and the end result for that area and the entire yard is absolutely captivating. The view from every window I look out, every time I drive up to the house, when I'm mowing the grass or sitting out on the patio, I am struck by the beauty of the trees, plants and flow of the beds and grass. After having lived with chaotic plantings, a neglected lawn and weeds, weeds, weeds everywhere that I tried to maintain and/or eliminate for four years in this house, to say that I was adamant about good results and anxious about every detail of this project would be an understatement. Nick and his crew far exceeded my expectations and gave me more bang for my buck and splendor than I ever imagined. Being a homeowner for 40+ years, from the East Coast to the West, and having dealt with every kind of contractor imaginable, I wholeheartedly recommend Modern Landscape and Design. Nick Louie is a man of integrity. His pricing was incredibly reasonable for the extensive and varied amount of work done and the number, variety and health of the plants installed. His crew was prompt, conscientious and hard-working. They were always courteous and kept the job site organized and the sidewalk and driveway swept. They performed a final cleanup after the trees and plants were in by hosing down the rock and power-washing all of the concrete. My only regret was not knowing Modern Landscape did concrete work also; I would have had them tear out and pour my previously done 135' driveway."

"entire back yard install. Sprinkler system, drip line for flower garden, landscaping rock, trees, bushes, and sod. Did the entire back yard. Hands down my favorite landscaper. Will use for all my future needs. I’ve already sent him to 4-5 family members. Super friendly, very respectful, and doesn’t want anything but the best for the customer. I would recommend to anyone I know!"

"Forest Landscaping was great to work with. Erika was very helpful and knowledgeable. What I really appreciate was the fact that they started the job when promised, they cleaned the job site each day, they showed up each day at the scheduled time and finished when promised. They are very professional. We are happy with the landscape and jobs they completed in our back yard."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Caldwell, ID

Seeding costs less up front, but you’ll wait months—and sometimes a full season—for the grass to fill in. Sod costs more per square foot, yet it gives you an instant, usable lawn the day it’s installed and needs far less care during the first year. 

If speed and early curb appeal matter, the higher sod price is often worth it; if you’re watching every dollar and don’t mind the wait, seed can still be a smart play.

Start by sketching your lawn and breaking it into rectangles or circles. Measure each section, multiply length by width, and then add all the sections together for the total square footage. Standard sod rolls are two feet by 1.5 feet, and one pallet covers 450 square feet. 

Divide your total area by 450 to see how many pallets you need, then round up—extras come in handy for cutting around curves or mistakes. Still unsure? A local sod supplier or installer can confirm your math before you order.

Most sod grips the soil within 10 to 14 days. During that stretch, keep foot traffic to a minimum and mow only if the grass gets tall. After two weeks, the roots should be strong enough for light use, but wait six weeks before heavy play or frequent mowing. Giving the grass that short honeymoon helps it anchor firmly and sets the stage for a durable, healthy lawn.

Give your new lawn two full weeks before any foot traffic, then stick to light use only. Hold off on vigorous play, parties, or regular mowing until the six-week mark so the roots can dig deep. Keep watering on schedule and watch for any dry patches. A little patience now means stronger turf and fewer repairs later.

Keep an eye on color, moisture, and even growth. Fresh sod should stay uniformly green; brown spots or gaps hint at dry soil or poor contact. Water deeply at least once a day for the first week (more in hot weather) and back off gradually after the roots take. Avoid heavy foot traffic until the grass feels firmly anchored. Quick attention to trouble spots now prevents costly patches later.

Aim for spring or early fall when daytime temps hover between 55°F and 80°F. Mild weather and consistent moisture help the roots knit quickly. Laying sod in midsummer can stress the grass, while frozen winter soil blocks rooting altogether. 

If you must install outside the ideal window, budget extra time for watering and tending to the turf. Choosing the right season makes the job easier and the lawn tougher.
