"Forest Landscape completely redid our backyard. They provided great suggestions for new landscaping and completely renovated our backyard. They provided a bid that was competitive with other landscapers. They are excellent at coming up with solutions for achieving what you would like to have done. Once plans were in place, they moved fast and would have completed the entire project quickly if it had not been for a delay caused by another contractor. They were very responsive to changes we made along the way, providing updates and clear estimates of what those changes would cost. The end product was great- they did a fantastic job on everything: stamped concrete, retaining wall, stone paths, irrigation system, lighting, planting, and putting down new sod. We are very pleased with the work they did. They followed up to make sure everything was working properly and completed to our satisfaction. We would highly recommend."

"We had an excellent experience with Miguel and his team at Sherpa! From the design and estimate process to the project work and the final product, we were beyond pleased. It is an amazing transformation of our space, and we would happily recommend Miguel and Sherpa Landscape Construction. The attention to detail and finished product is stunning! They maintained a clean jobsite and left our property spotless after their work was complete. If I could give 6 stars I would!"

"Dream Landscape contacted me shortly after I found them on HomeAdvisor (Angi). They showed up when scheduled to talk about my landscape project. They promptly sent me an estimate. When they showed up to do the job they explained how the process would work. I especially appreciated that the person I met with, who prepared the estimate, managed the work crew. The clean up at the end of the job was impressive. I will definitely be using them for other projects."

"We called four landscaping companies for bids, but only two responded. After having the landscapers from each of the responding companies come to view the property and give us a bid, we chose Ricardo from RCS to do the work even though he gave us a higher bid than the other group. We felt he really knew what needed to be done and how best to accomplish what we were hoping for. Our project went extremely well as Ricardo is the nicest perfectionist I have ever met! If I could have him head up every outdoor home project we would ever need to do, I would love that! He has a great attitude as did the two men who worked with him, Ezekial and Adrian. All three were friendly and respectful in all our interactions with them. They also all willingly answered any questions we had and discussed their plans with us. Ricardo was thorough and when they finished up yesterday, he wouldn't leave until he was certain that the irrigation system was operating correctly. We had a delay in the lawn installation due to some Comcast work, and when Ricardo returned and found the sandy soil to be quite muddy in an area that we had struggled with for years due to the often wet weather here, he brought in special soil so that the sod he was laying down wouldn't be directly over mud that would result in uneven and sinking grass areas later. He wasn't willing to risk having the end results not to be up to his high standards of turning out well. We are happy to recommend Ricardo and his team for other people's lawn projects as we are very happy with our new lawn at this time."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Canby, OR

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.
