"Isrrael and his crew did a fantastic job sodding my front yard. There was good communication and the work was complete according to the schedule. I'm very happy with the finished product. I also requested that the sod be purchased from a specific company and they didn't have a problem with this. I would highly recommend them."

"Brandon and Ryan did an awesome job on my landscaping project. They listened to my thoughts for the project, gave me suggestions then made it become a reality. They were very reasonable and great to work with. They also installed my cyclone fencing. I will definitely hire them again when I need anything done."

"THESE GUYS WERE GREAT! From the first phone call to the estimate to the day of the service, Loren and his guys did a superb job. Loren is very friendly, honest and easy going. He gave a competitive estimate that was below what other arborists had estimated. He got here on time, got the job done and left everything clean and looking great. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with Loren to anyone in need of professional tree service. "

"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.

I've worked with three arborists through the last 25 years we've owned our home, and Brian is my favorite.  Here are some reasons why:

1. He responded to my initial phone call within 24 hours to make an appointment for a bid.

2. When here to review the project, he listened intently to our requests and goals for the project.  His feedback and suggestions indicated that he understood our needs.  He didn't waste time with a lot of chit-chat, yet was personable.

3.  He didn't try to upsell by pushing additional, unneeded and ongoing services.  

4.  His bid was reasonable.

5.  He has an easy-going personality and communicates with the customer very well while on the job site.

6. He remembered and carried out all our requests beautifully.  And we had specific requests beyond just a general trimming of trees.

7.  He is an owner-operator who was on site and in charge of the entire project.  This is a huge plus, as I've had less-than-desirable results when the person who bid the job is not on site for the job----there is often a gap in communication when that happens.  With Brian always there, we got the results we wanted.

8.  His assistant who was up in the trees doing the cutting did NOT wear cleats (which can damage trees).

9.  Both the assistant and Brian made beautiful cuts and obviously know how to do them the right way.

10.  The assistant blew debris off my roof to keep it out of the gutters (a nice bonus).

11.  They worked efficiently, not wasting any time, and were not noisy---no unnecessary loud hollering or using boom boxes that might unnecessarily disturb neighbors--- beyond the unavoidable equipment noise.

12.  They cleaned the jobsite immaculately.  And even cleared out some extra pine needle buildup under that tree. 

13.  The end results were exactly what we wanted.  We are very pleased

14.  He liked my dog----  a requirement ;-)    And my dog LOVES the gift Brian brought him.  

We wanted more than just a general trim and cleanout of one of our pin oaks and a flowering cherry.  We wanted many bottom limbs of the oak removed to bring light into the yard for our vegetable garden, plus the upper part of the tree thinned.  Yet we had to have one lower limb stay for our dog's rope toy (a must!).   Whenever Brian or his assistant had questions about certain limbs, they asked me before cutting.   They never cut more or less than what we wanted.

The flowering cherry in the front yard by the street needed a lot of interior clean-out and was also covering the street light----it was a mess, full of sucker branches and little dead limbs and twigs.  While here looking at the project for a bid, I told Brian that I wanted it to look like an immaculate and well cared for cherry tree down the street from our house, but I forgot to walk him down there to look at it at that time.  When Brian arrived to do the job, he remembered--without my reminding him--and took the initiative to locate the that particular tree.  I was impressed.   He and his assistant did a beautiful job making our tree look like the example tree down the street.  It's inside area is cleaned out, leaving the pretty branch structure showing, and the outside with leaves is beautifully shaped, even with a section that had to be cut out to reveal the street light.  My husband was thrilled when he came home from work. 


We will be hiring Brian again for future projects

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.
