"Outstanding - we appreciated Craig's creativity in helping us to select plants, that the folks at the nursery knew him and made a side comment to me personally that we'd picked one of the "good ones," and that he had a larger vision than we did for how to create a beautiful outdoor space for us. He replaced our drip irrigation system in the front and back yard, trimmed our trees and plants, installed a new timer, and this quote included purchasing new gravel for the front yard, and adding about 15 new plants to the front and back yard, including a citrus tree (which later died, but we later admitted that the location for the tree was probably not a good one - it was the 2nd tree to die there.). All of our plants look beautiful and lush during the spring, and some of them still bloom into the summer, and others bloom into the fall so that we always have something nice to look at. We enjoyed Craig and will call on him again for a second home we would like to install a new drip irrigation system for."

"Joe turned out to be one of the best referrals ever. They did an amazing job, listened to what we wanted and changed things for the better. The biggest thing I can say about Joe is that he stands behind his work. We are now on the second month and having issues with the grass coming in. Joe has come out to adjust water and help. He will NOT install the yard and walk away. He has replaced a dead bush and always addresses any concerns. I will recommend Joe to anyone looking to get landscaping done, and have already done so."

"Emanuel and his crew did an excellent job on some landscaping work in our back yard here in Mesa. They put down border tiles around our rose bushes, and put sod in where we ask them to. The job was done professionally and it looks GREAT! I would recommend highly. John & Maureen B."

"I acquired several quotes to do full front and back yard landscaping. Daryl's quote was the most reasonable and I am very happy with the work. Daryl and his team finished in about 2 weeks and probably could have been done quicker, however, my wife and I made changes along the way that caused some delays and Daryl was very accommodating to our requests and provided excellent suggestions along the way. Daryl and team do fantastic work and I would not hesitate to hire him again for future projects. AAA+++ on service, price and professionalism. Here is what was included in the landscape package: 1) Demo and disposal of 2 large palm trees, 2 trees, existing planters, 400 sq ft of concrete driveway, cleanup of debris. 2) Install irrigation drip lines 3) 400 sq ft of pavers installed in driveway, installation of 2 8' x 4' garden planting areas, installation of paver boarder along front property line 4) 300 sq ft of artificial grass turf with paver boarder 5) Plant package: 10-5 gal plants, 3-7 gal queen palms 6) Free LED light system with up to 8 lights and transformer with timer 7) 30 tons of 1/4 inch rock delivered and installed"

"We are very pleased with the paving work Isaac of That Guy Landscaping did in our yard. He installed 650 square feet of pavers to make a walkway and three large patio areas on yard that had formerly been covered with landscape rock. He also installed new irrigation piping and lines. Isaac is pleasant to work with, meticulous, competent, and competitively priced. Compared to other companies that gave us quotes for the same work, Isaac was a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend."

"Desert Summer Landscaping landscaped our front and back yards and we couldn't be more pleased with the result! Miguel, Antonio, and Gilberto are exceptionally efficient, professional, creative, and knowledgeable. They created beautifully designed spaces in the front and back yards, removing grass, extending the patio, creating a corner sitting area, installing artificial turf, replacing gravel and designing creative curving borders and walkways throughout. They also installed a new irrigation system with two circuits, one for trees and the other for shrubs. In less than three weeks, they transformed our outdoor living space. We were especially impressed by their creative talent, making suggestions to improve on our original plans. The quality of work is exceptional and they go above and beyond to make it perfect, adding extra touches to make it great. They were very budget friendly, not charging for the extra touches and design features they added. I highly recommend this company for all your landscape design needs."

"I purchased a pygmy palm tree from Rojas Landscape services and had them come to plant it in my front yard. I was very impressed with their crew and so I asked for an estimate to install a small irrigation system for my garden. Jose quoted a very reasonable price and his crew showed up the next day and installed it. His crew was punctual, polite and friendly. I would definitely use their services again and recommend them for any of your landscape needs."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Gilbert, 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.
