"Forest Landscape completely redid our backyard. They provided great suggestions for new landscaping and completely renovated our backyard. They provided a bid that was competitive with other landscapers. They are excellent at coming up with solutions for achieving what you would like to have done. Once plans were in place, they moved fast and would have completed the entire project quickly if it had not been for a delay caused by another contractor. They were very responsive to changes we made along the way, providing updates and clear estimates of what those changes would cost. The end product was great- they did a fantastic job on everything: stamped concrete, retaining wall, stone paths, irrigation system, lighting, planting, and putting down new sod. We are very pleased with the work they did. They followed up to make sure everything was working properly and completed to our satisfaction. We would highly recommend."

"Overall, it went well. They came into the middle of a project and brought it to completion. The team was professional, timely, and consulted with me as they installed the wall, i.e. location of boulders. We have had many compliments on it and look forward to working on plantings in the spring. The two little issues are that the grass came in a bit thin (we were going into fall) and the muddy areas above the wall. A lot of the excavating had been done by someone else. Although All Pro took three dump trucks away, it wasnt' quite enough. Our soil has a lot of clay in it, which is very muddy. All in all, the did a great job and i would hire them again."

"It went fantastic! The installation team was always on time, worked until dark everyday (even stayed late one night with the use of our work lights!), and did a beautiful job. We had some changes we wanted, after the job started, and they made the changes, seamlessly. NW Outdoor Living and Landscape provided us with recommendations and input on landscaping ideas, as well. They were wonderful to work with! We look out at our new patio and are so, so thrilled with it!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Government-camp, OR

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.
