"All of the guys were friendly and very helpful. They did a great job with the trimming we had spoken about, and were also willing to add another large shrub to the list. Work was exemplary, as was clean up. I would definitely use this company again. Referral would be my pleasure. Thank you so very much!"

"Adam was very easy to work with. He resloped an area of my yard. Removed some bushes and placed new sprinklers and sod. I had him replace a French Drain and converted to a larger Pit to accommodate water drainage away from my home. Adam is a very hard worker."

"entire back yard install. Sprinkler system, drip line for flower garden, landscaping rock, trees, bushes, and sod. Did the entire back yard. Hands down my favorite landscaper. Will use for all my future needs. I’ve already sent him to 4-5 family members. Super friendly, very respectful, and doesn’t want anything but the best for the customer. I would recommend to anyone I know!"

"We hired KC Construction to install an 8 zone sprinkler system on a 1 acre lot and also prep the ground for hydro-seeding. They did excellent work, were there when they said they would be, and made sure we understood the system after it was installed. When we discovered that one of the lines had developed a leak, they were out the very next day to repair it. All in all I would say that they definitely exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them, and we will use them again if needed."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Nampa, ID

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.
