"Earth First Landscape & Irrigation: (Completed (3) jobs for us! ***** 1) LANDSCAPING (SOD) We planted grass seed when we first bought the house, after the Arizona sun scorched it! We decided to plant sod! I reached out to Robert Sept 30, 2023, for a quote on our backyard to install sod. Robert responded promptly and scheduled our appointment Oct 7,2023 for evaluation and quote. Robert is polite, easy to talk to, professional, prompt and ALWAYS! answered all my questions, text messages, and phone calls. He explained the process of sod installation, how to care for the sod no matter how many times I asked them. :) Robert explained our sod is being grown and was ordered on Oct 10th, 2023. Our project started November 1, 2023 all projects were completed within time frame of 8 days per quote. Our contract was explained in detail of warranty, breakdown of cost, deposits, and all supplies needed to complete jobs. Robert and his team were OUTSTANDING! ON TIME! PROFESSIONAL! I was amazed at the hard work, and teamwork rototilling Arizona, caliche ground! and installing the sod! Robert sprayed liquid fertilizer on the sod in Dec 2023. Robert came over today (3-23-24) to evaluate the lawn, is providing another fertilizer treatment end of May or April 2024. Our lawn looks and feels AMAZING!!!! 2) HIRED SPRINKLER SYSTEM (BACKYARD) Robert and his team installed 2 zone automated sprinkler system. I am highly impressed with this system! This will keep the sod evenly watered on a schedule. Robert showed us all work completed, location of all sprinklers. Robert always responds and addresses our concerns on water coverage on sod. He has stopped by about 3 times total for sprinkler coverage (including today) to adjust sprinklers, replace ones for better water coverage. We love our sprinkler system! 3) HIRED 11X11 PATIO (BACKYARD) I previously hired someone off Facebook! to install 11x11 patio. MISTAKE!!!!! Robert kindly noticed our 11x11 patio was sloped in the middle, on our back yard quote. My husband and I explained our concerns on how disappointed we are with the previous job! Robert asked would you like to add this 11x11 patio to your back yard project? Without hesitation we said YES! Robert and his team carefully removed all the pavers, some pavers were broken, due to prior Facebook person who installed it. Robert and his team prepped the ground, leveled it, and reinstalled my pavers. Our new 11x11 patio is LEVEL! Amazed at all the attention to detail, love the outside border. I am so glad we hired Robert and his team to re do our 11x11 patio. SO! PERFECT!!!!! YEAH!!!!! BONUS: (Pavers left over from patio quote) Robert and his team SUPRISED US! they added border pavers at both sides of the yard, we have gravel on both sides of the house. This is a nice added touch to the yard and keeps the gravel off the grass, as we have 2 dogs! Without hesitation his team raked all the gravel on the sides of the house, and in the front yard, where they walked and brought in supplies. Thank you for all your hard work!"

"Daniel and his team of 3 other guys from Chexco landscaping arrived on time and got right to work. They removed all of my old drip irrigation in my front and back yard, and replaced everything with upgraded materials and more efficient watering emitters. A trench digger machine was used to hasten the project. After all the installations were completed, both yards were cleaned up and the yard gravel was raked. The job was completed in 3 hrs. The whole team was very friendly and easy to work with. The project estimate was very reasonable."

"Dan and his crew were excellent in executing our design for our dream backyard. Dan and his crews had to work around some obstacles in the process and considering those obstacles they finished in a timely manner with a high level of workmanship. Dan was able to work with us though the process as the design changed from initial concept to finished product. Dans lead foreman at the time was top notch. I would recommend them and plan on using them for our front yard project."

"Steve and his crew arrived early and went right to work.  They repaired and installed new emitters and lines where needed and capped off old lines that were just cut off and left and then checked the entire system for leaks at our new home.  They left everything very neat and clean.  Steve is very easy to communicate with. He did everything he said he would and more.  I highly recommend them!

FAQs for sod installation projects in Catalina, AZ

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.
