"Technician Phillip was great. He was thorough, friendly, and when I expressed an interest in shadowing him through the process so I could learn what was in my own house, he was happy to have me follow him and he even explained each step of the process as he went. Everything checked out fine, except we needed two GFCI outlets installed in the kitchen, which Philip promptly took care of when he returned two days later. We even texted back-and-forth a few times to make sure that the outlet covers were the correct color."

"Contractor keep appointment (even though there were 2 or 3 calls expressing confusion about time and day); installed the drywall and cleaned the area.   The drywall installation was not smooth and when textured looked amateurish at best.  Before I could paint I had to sand several areas and apply canned texture-not the most professional look but time was a factor.  the next time the wall is painted will require extensive prep work to make it look professional.
Good things: appointment keep; work was done as explained; no extra charges.
Not so good: Technician was not a drywall guy.

"The landscape work was simple, but the price was great, I was injured, and he brought a 6 person crew that actually knew what plants they were looking at and how to care for them.  Great Job
Second Job:  I had an emergency and very small window to get a kitchen (with about 10 layers of old vinyl underneath)  and a bathroom (without a complete subfloor?)  tiled.  This was an odd situation at best.  His price was too low for me to feel right about it, so I paid him more than he asked for.  He knew I was moving out and brought out a cleaner to d everything.  He showed up on time (rare in construction) and stayed all night knowing it had to be ready for grouting the next day to get my tenants in.  He saved me a 3 year lease.  He took on about ten extra tasks from installing a light fixture, fixing baseboards, patch paint work, caulking a whole tub and everything else I threw at him.  
Bottom Line:  This guy likes to work.  He won't let you done.  He is trustable.  He'll work all night for you if you don't have another choice.  I've had about 25 years working with people in construction, and no one else would have finished and saved my lease.  He knew it was important, and my business was important to him, no matter the task.  You'll be impressed by him work and professionalism.   He does everything he can do to keep you happy.

"We're very happy and relieved to have the old deck gone, in short time and for a reasonable price.
Phil and 2 men showed up just as planned.  We had talked beforehand via Angie's messaging about details.  Confirmed again after their arrival.   The job took  about 3 hours on site.
The guys jumped right in and worked efficiently, thoughtfully, and carefully.  There was no collateral damage during the removal of the 200 square foot deck, in spite of a concrete patio just below.  The old pressure-treated wood couldn't stand up to NM sun and the former residents' dogs?and it had become a great spider habitat  and leaf/trash catcher.  
The old wood couldn't be burned, had too many screws to salvage without doubling the costs, so Phil and his crew cut it up into pallet-sized chunks - too heavy to recycle into pallets sadly.  They hauled it all to the landfill.  
Phil answered my questions about what had gone wrong with the original install (someone else's), and was very generous with his knowledge, and didn't shy away from telling me what I needed next.
One minor problem:  there was lots of dirt, junk, etc. under the old deck that I had specifically asked to be bagged.  Trying to be extra helpful, they put it directly into my compost bins - junk included.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Cochiti Lake, NM

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.
