"The job went very well. It was extremely laborious - being entirely done by hand, and wheelbarrowing all materials in an out, up and down a hill from the street to the work site. The entire existing sod yard (approx.1400 sq. ft.) was removed, then the dirt was tilled by pick and shovel, 10 inches deep to remove tree roots. Then 6 yards of topsoil was brought in and the yard leveled and re-sodded. Additional perimeter rock was added. Great care was taken by workers to respect existing plants and landscaping. Mr. Mindh was present on all work days providing supervision. I was impressed with both his daily punctuality and responsiveness to phone calls. He did the job as we had originally agreed. I strongly recommend this company."

"Henry and team completely renovated our backyard. They installed a retaining wall, concrete patio, rock, sod and a portion of fence with a gate . They also trimmed up the trees and planted new perennials. Henry was very communicative throughout the process and we absolutely loved his designs and ideas. His team was very hardworking and fast without compromising quality. We even had a couple of neighbors comment on what a great job they were doing. We couldn't be happier with our new backyard. It's gorgeous!"

"It went great! I was freaking out a little. Its my first winter here, and I wasn't sure how long to wait to winterize the system. I also had a lot of grass that needed watering, so I wanted to water it for as long as I could. Suddenly, it got really cold and showed no signs of letting up, so I decided it was time to find someone ASAP. First call was to here, and I was a little nervous that he so casually took an appointment by phone, but he showed up on time, came in under his estimate ($60 estimate/$45 actual payment), and was very nice to my wife. I also mistakenly sent him a text message intended for my wife that was, awkwardly enough, about him. A lesser professional may have taken offense, but not him. While I try to do work on my sprinkler system myself, I would definitely hire him if I needed someone again."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Golden, 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.
