"I am blown away by the quality and price I paid for Juan and Leon and their crew to xeriscape my front yard. They did the entire front yard project in just 2 days. That included removing all the sod, tying off existing sprinkler lines, laying new drip lines and weed cloth, placing all the rock and plants just as I had designed it. They are courteous, friendly and extremely hard working. I am so impressed with the integrity of this company. I gave Juan an initial deposit in February and he didn't cash the check until they started the project on April 20. This company is simply amazing in all areas; work ethic, promptness, quality and dedication. They take pride in their work and their reputation. I plan to hire them again for a fire pit area in my backyard. Hire them, you won't be disappointed!"

"The guys were amazing! Respectful, clean, and quick. They scraped out the entire backyard in two days, and laid sod in one. We've had this same company do tree removal and sprinkler work in the past. We'll always use SLC Landscaping."

"We have had a window well flood since we moved here. Paulino came and analyzed the problem and offered several solutions. We opted to do both grading and french drain installation. The first day, the french drain was installed but the grading did not get done. I called Paulino and he brought a crew out and they completed the job. We had a huge rain since and NO FLOODS (yay). The reason I gave them a 'B;' for quality was they removed my perennials and did not keep track of where they removed the from, therefore, they were randomly replanted in the wrong places."

"Franklin did a great job! He was very mindful with our modest budget and planned a beautiful retaining wall and walkway for our sloped yard for a very reasonable price. He communicated well and completed the work in the timeframe he specified. He is one of the kindest and most reliable contractors I’ve ever met."

"We hired Redge Landscaping to remove a significant amount of dirt and level 700 sq ft of our backyard in preparation for a new concrete patio and numerous raised garden beds. Konner was professional thorough and communicated with us every step of the way. He was able to effectively operate his earth moving equipment to complete the job yet minimize the wear and tear on the other areas of the lawn. We appreciate his commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Layton, UT

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.
