"They did beautiful work, and quickly. They removed at least a couple of tons of old brick planters, gravel, nasty old ground cloth. Installed gopher-proofing and sod to give a bit of paw-friendly yard. Pointed out details I had missed and suggested fixes. And they worked HARD. One hot day, two rainy days. Absolutely I’ll hire them again."

"Couldn't have gone any better! All services were done on-time and on-budget starting with owner Darrin's bid appointment all the way through sod & sprinkler installation completion! Even after 1 minor complication at the end of the job (2 sprinkler zones were accidentally combined creating low-pressure at some of the heads), Darrin came out the following Saturday morning to correct it and all is well! They did what they said they would do, the way they said they would do it, for the price agreed-upon, with no whining or excuses! VERY unusual in today's business environment where most companies seem to specialize in "won't" or "can't" so kudos Darrin! Look forward to having you back again someday for more!"

"Randy, from Universal Landscape, arrived when he said he would and finished the job a day earlier than planned. Work went like clockwork. Cleaned up nicely after each day and when job was completed. My wife and I were extremely impressed with their work and professionalism. Also, Randy was able to bring cost in below original estimate."

"Mount Olive Landscape & Construction exceeded all my expectations with the installation of my new fence! From the initial consultation to the final touches, Novi and his team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. I had a lengthy bidding process, and Mt Olive/Novi were the lowest price and best value for our brand new 450-ft cedar fence. The crew was punctual, respectful, and friendly - I especially loved chatting with the guys doing the actual building who gave me (a newcomer to WA state) local recommendations that I can't wait to try exploring soon! I couldn't be happier with the result and highly recommend Mount Olive Landscape & Construction for anyone seeking top-notch fence installation process. Truly a 5-star experience!"

Customers say: Quick response

"They totally cleared a portion of my property of blackberries, dead and volunteer trees & bushes and all stumps then added bark and some plants. It looks beautiful. Front lawn was sodded and back lawn thatched and reseeded. The crew were hard working, and courteous. They meticulously cleaned up all yard debris and left the yard spotless. The only reason I'm giving 4 star is because I want to see how reseeded portion of lawn does. All in all though I was impressed with their work."

"Jorge came to my house within a few days of my request for an estimate. He suggested a layout and fixtures that were much better than what I had before, and was able to install everything the following weekend. Very pleased with the results."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Lake Stevens, 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.
