"Henry and team completely renovated our backyard. They installed a retaining wall, concrete patio, rock, sod and a portion of fence with a gate . They also trimmed up the trees and planted new perennials. Henry was very communicative throughout the process and we absolutely loved his designs and ideas. His team was very hardworking and fast without compromising quality. We even had a couple of neighbors comment on what a great job they were doing. We couldn't be happier with our new backyard. It's gorgeous!"

"We had been looking for a "go to" landscaper that did good work within a reasonable price - that we could use over and over again. Minh is just this guy for us. We had him build a border wall with large retaining wall blocks as well as re-sod damaged grass due to very active puppies. The border had to match the fire pit color blend built 5 years ago. He took the time to find the correct, exact match for the color scheme as it was not designated on our old receipt from the previous contractor. The wall/border looks great. The sod looks great (nice and level). He is honest, does not try to "put on the sale" and most importantly does great work for a reasonable price! We will be hiring him any time we need landscape related work done!"

"MG Landscaping did an excellent job on our front yard rock conversion. They removed the old grass and installed a clean, low-maintenance landscape with black granite border rock, river rock in the center, steel edging, plants, and drip irrigation. The finished project looks sharp, clean, and professionally done. The contrast between the dark border and the river rock really improved the curb appeal of the house. The crew worked hard, paid attention to the details, and left the area looking neat when they were finished. We are very happy with the final result and would recommend MG Landscaping to anyone looking for xeriscaping or a front yard landscape upgrade. Thank you, MG Landscaping!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Lone Tree, CO

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.
