"Our existing irrigation system was over 15 years old and was beginning to spring leaks throughout our property.  After receiving a very competitive estimate, we contracted with AZ NativeScapes to remove the old irrigation system and to replace it with a new system.  They were able to complete the installation in one day to our total satisfaction.
We found Craig Rawlings and his team to be very professional and considerate.  They use only the best materials and latest technology.  Their work is top notch and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering an installation of this nature.

"Joe turned out to be one of the best referrals ever. They did an amazing job, listened to what we wanted and changed things for the better. The biggest thing I can say about Joe is that he stands behind his work. We are now on the second month and having issues with the grass coming in. Joe has come out to adjust water and help. He will NOT install the yard and walk away. He has replaced a dead bush and always addresses any concerns. I will recommend Joe to anyone looking to get landscaping done, and have already done so."

"I acquired several quotes to do full front and back yard landscaping. Daryl's quote was the most reasonable and I am very happy with the work. Daryl and his team finished in about 2 weeks and probably could have been done quicker, however, my wife and I made changes along the way that caused some delays and Daryl was very accommodating to our requests and provided excellent suggestions along the way. Daryl and team do fantastic work and I would not hesitate to hire him again for future projects. AAA+++ on service, price and professionalism. Here is what was included in the landscape package: 1) Demo and disposal of 2 large palm trees, 2 trees, existing planters, 400 sq ft of concrete driveway, cleanup of debris. 2) Install irrigation drip lines 3) 400 sq ft of pavers installed in driveway, installation of 2 8' x 4' garden planting areas, installation of paver boarder along front property line 4) 300 sq ft of artificial grass turf with paver boarder 5) Plant package: 10-5 gal plants, 3-7 gal queen palms 6) Free LED light system with up to 8 lights and transformer with timer 7) 30 tons of 1/4 inch rock delivered and installed"

"Desert Summer Landscaping landscaped our front and back yards and we couldn't be more pleased with the result! Miguel, Antonio, and Gilberto are exceptionally efficient, professional, creative, and knowledgeable. They created beautifully designed spaces in the front and back yards, removing grass, extending the patio, creating a corner sitting area, installing artificial turf, replacing gravel and designing creative curving borders and walkways throughout. They also installed a new irrigation system with two circuits, one for trees and the other for shrubs. In less than three weeks, they transformed our outdoor living space. We were especially impressed by their creative talent, making suggestions to improve on our original plans. The quality of work is exceptional and they go above and beyond to make it perfect, adding extra touches to make it great. They were very budget friendly, not charging for the extra touches and design features they added. I highly recommend this company for all your landscape design needs."

"Edgar Herrera was the first to respond to my request. He was so knowledgeable and helpful in guiding me through the process. He and his workers showed up the next morning, and within 2 hours had three mesquite trees planted with mulch and walls for future watering. This ground was rock hard, and they made short work of it. We highly recommend Edgar and his workers. We give them a HIGH 10 rating. Great job, and these trees have grown 4 ft in 2 months, just as he said."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Mesa, AZ

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.
