"Soto Masonry LLC completed my projects in a very timely manor and everything looks great! Arturo was able to work with my schedule to get the project started. They tuck pointed areas of my brick house including the chimney. They demoed a concrete patio with cracks and repoured the patio and side walks at a discreet angle in order to move water away from the house. Everything looks very clean and well done. Arturo was happy to answer all my questions and made great recommendations."

"Excellent service from start to finish! Key & Corney has a wide selection of choices to choose from for window treatments and they helped us narrow the choices to fit within our budget. Blinds were delivered and installed in a timely manner. The entire team is very friendly and professional. We will definitely work them again on future home projects!"

"Our project was to rip out decade old and rotted railroad ties for our back and front yards. We had already had other beds put in and needed the brick to match. We also had some irrigation maintenance needs. Bill and his team at CitiScape were able to find the exact material to match and easily had it installed. What was more important is they did it for a quote that was very reasonable and did it within the the time they had outlined. They left the home in great shape and per my wife, the crew was very courteous during the job. Would highly recommend as we will be using CitiScape again on our next project."

"Sonny and his team did a great job on my project. His price was fair and they finished when they said they would. After seeing how nice the back patio and stairs look, I want to get out front stairs to match... Hopefully he will have time soon!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Dumont, CO

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.
