"We met Ravi through our neighbor- he gave Ilya great solutions for our sloped driveway and then the next project when we realized we would need help redirecting water from our house. He is a great communicator and very easy to work with. He enjoys coming up to Flag- (we live in Mountainare) and has competitive pricing. Highly recommend him and his team!"

"The team at Citiscapes, were great. They understood the scope of work and completed it on time without a hitch. We wanted to add onto the back of our pool a grass area around pool for our dogs to be able to run all around the pool chasing each other and yes, more exercise for them. When I had the pool 2022 installed it took our past pool company 15 months to complete, this year they went bankrupt, and we no longer have a warrantee. I will be calling Citiscapes for our next pool installation."

"We had a sprinkler leak under our paved walkway and heard about Victor at Immaculate Irrigation Solutions from a friend at church. We called and he responded right away. He came right over to assess the leak (it was a complex junction leak - a real mess!). However, through careful, experienced judgement, plus getting a few parts for this multi-step process, which was tricky, as the pipe bent around a corner, and another adjoining piece was at an odd angle, Victor ultimately fixed it. We were impressed with how diligent he was in getting it done correctly. He took time to put great care into his work. Impressive. He also smoothed out the dirt after he back-filled the hole in such an even manner that re-setting the brick walkway was a breeze. All this for a VERY reasonable price. THANK YOU, VICTOR! We Totally recommend Immaculate Irrigation Solutions, LLC. Victor is officially our new landscape/sprinker 'go to' guy!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Chandler, 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.
