"Easy to work with and did an outstanding job in a minimal amount of time in less than favorable weather conditions. Will be using NewGreen in the future to trim and prune the shrubs and bushes in the yard. I highly recommend this company for any type of yard work."

"When I called, I was afraid they could not get to my yard for a couple weeks, so was very pleasantly surprised that he was able to come in4 days from when I contacted him. He gave me an estimate and told me all he would do for the price. When they came out, I could not believe how quickly they completed the work. My front yard now looks beautiful and all my neighbors are commenting on how great it looks. Would gladly hire him again."

"Sta-Built was the only company of the four contacted that followed through with a bid. They have great references. Ryan helped with the design. We did not think to include lighting and it was an excellent suggestion and decision. Hector and his crew showed up as scheduled and finished the job in two days. Hector assisted in making the right paver and color choices. We couldn't be happier with the end result. We will definitely hire again!"

"The two-man crew arrived within their stated arrival window.  Brian spoke with both of us and then got to work.  They were fast but thorough and cleaned up all of the tree debris from the pruning.

"Purchased a sprinkler tune up and back flow test with
certification. Paul is a busy guy so it took him a day to get back to me which I
think is very reasonable.  We scheduled
the appointment. He was very punctual. I explained that I had just purchased
the house so he explained how to winterize the system at the end of the season
and how to program the timer at no additional cost. During the inspection, he
found three sprinkler heads that needed to be replaced so he replaced those at
the same time. Total additional cost for the heads installed and adjusted?. $8.97.
 
Paul is my guy from now on any problem I can?t fix with the
system Paul is my first call.

"We purchased a Big Deal on gutter cleaning.  We waited a couple of months to use it (waiting until all the leaves were down).  It took several calls to get a response.  I finally contacted the provider through the Angie's List Serve website, at which point I got a prompt and professional response.  From there, the company was very easy to deal with.  The service was scheduled within a few days, and the guys who came out to do it did a good job.  They let me know that they could install a better gutter system if we were ever interested, but did not do a hard sell.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Kalama, WA

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.
