"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."

"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.

"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.

"Mariano came and gave us a bid within a day of our initial phone call. He and his crew came a week later to perform the work. There was a delay because of the heavy rains, but once they got here, they were all business. The old sod was removed and all the weeds removed by hand, rather than with weed killer, in the first day. The second day they laid the sod and did clean up and trimming. They would have been done in two days, except we asked them to do the rock work, so they came back two days later and completed that job in a couple hours. He will also be providing three months maintenance work twice a month, that includes mowing, fertilizing, weed removal and edging and clean up. This is all included in the above cost. We plan to keep the maintenance work going after the contracted period. Everything looks wonderful, and his prices are more than fair."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Longview, 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.
