"I could not have higher praise! I reached out to them on a Tuesday morning and that afternoon they had come over, provided a quote and started/finished the job on Thursday. I was having 47ft of fencing replaced and I am so thankful for the quality and quick response - it’s beautiful. I plan on doing more landscape work with them with year."

"Pure Magic!! That’s how they handled my new wrought iron fence installation. They built a custom jig so they could bend the rails to match the radius of the sidewalk on my corner lot. All the posts and rails are perfectly straight and level with self closing gates too. Very quick and clean work supported by competent and professional office staff made for a very pleasing experience. I’ll hire Enterprise Landscaping for all my future landscaping needs."

Customers say: Quick response

"Retained the services for some major repairs on our shopping mall fences. In the middle of the contract, we had a truck mow down a section of fencing. Tony immediately added this extra work not included in our contract without adding any further costs. Honest, personable and reliable is my recommendation for this company. Out of 3 estimates they were the lowest bid and able to do the work immediately verses the other two who had a 2 month wait. "

"Removing a cement driveway and replacing it with pavers is a big job that is noisy and takes a couple of weeks. The result is wonderful and improves the appearance of your home. They also rebuilt 2sers of steps and the front porch."

"I have a stone flower box that broke apart due to an evergreen being pulled out with large roots. I contacted Daniel Thursday, came over Friday to bid the job and repaired it today, Saturday. House was built in 1962 so the rocks were rugged shape & different sizes. Daniel and his assistant repaired it quickly at a reasonable price. My daughter & I are quite pleased and must commend him for following through and keeping to his word. Thanks Daniel. Job well done! P.S. I’d take a photo but plastic sheeting is protecting it from the weather. "

FAQs for sod installation projects in Carson City, NV

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.
