Before Picture: A blank canvas! The entire yard was graded and prepped before additional layers were installed.
Before picture:  Starting point! An automatic sprinkler and drip system was installed for the plants that were coming.
We used a unique and special sod for their grass as one of children had allergies. We added citrus trees for the same consideration and also to bear edible fruit!
The patio area was enlarged with a paver border extension.
A paver seating area was created for relaxation and entertainment.  To the right is the play area which was created specifically to hold a trampoline and above ground pool. Paver borders and crushed granite were used throughout, bringing harmony and balance to the overall design.

"It was excellent. It was wonderful. They helped me move from Mesa, Arizona. They picked up my household goods and furnishing on the 15th of November. They stored it for 2 nights. They brought it up to Payson, Arizona and delivered and set everything up for me on the 17th of November. I will recommend them."

"I would definitely recommend Wild Jungle Landscaping. Crew was very nice. We had some miscommunication regarding watering once the sod was installed. Two days later I sent a picture to Amadeus to be sure we were doing it correctly. He gave me updated directions and things started to improve. Was impressed when he texted me a week after installation to see how it was doing. This tells me that they care about the job they do."

"Luis and his crew did an amazing job on our yard! They removed 43-year-old railroad ties and all of the decorative rock in the front and back yards. They built masonry planter boxes and steps in the backyard, and a masonry planter box in the front yard. They ran irrigation through the planter box in the backyard and installed outdoor lighting in both the front and back yards. I wanted a more modern look to go with the 1970’s architecture and Luis listened and made welcome suggestions. We’re beyond pleased with the results and give Luis and his crew our highest recommendation!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Hayden, 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.
