"David and his team did an excellent job, we couldn’t be more pleased. After almost 20 years our front and backyard along with bushes and shrubs were in desperate need of attention. David walked the project with us and made several recommendations. Since we are both retired we had only one chance to get this right and David did not disappoint. After speaking with five other companies, The choice was obvious. David stayed in constant communication sending us pictures of plant choices so that we could make our decision. After doing one more walk-through of the project, David and his team were here the following morning to begin work. We placed sod in the front and backyard, put rocks along both sides of the house with stepping stones and a hedgerow plus rocks and borders in all of the flowerbeds. The entire project was completed within three days which included over 25 bushes and shrubs and a tree in the backyard to replace the one we had lost several years ago. After the job was completed David came by to ensure that we were happy with the finished product and let us know that if we had any problems whatsoever give him a call and he would be happy to take care of it. We have received several complements from our neighbors on what a great job David and his team had done. We think you will be very pleased with David‘s workmanship, professionalism and price. We highly suggest that you consider Hernandez2315 Landscaping before making your final determination. You’ll be glad you did."

"Vargas Tree Services replaced 30 trees, shrubs, and plants on my property, repaired the irrigation system, and installed spotlights. They arrived on time, worked hard all day, and did an absolutely beautiful job. At the same time, Alex Vargas made suggestions to improve the project, including telling me that I did NOT need some planned items (recommended by other contractors). Their prices were reasonable and affordable and I was completely satisfied."

"Eric and his brother came by our property to give us an estimate on a paver driveway and we told them that we had six other people coming over for estimates and they said that’s great. Just let us know which way you’d like to go and that was it for the time so then we listened to the other estimates that other companies gave us and I called Eric back and told him to come by so we can discuss it further and I let him know that some other places were cheaper and some other places were more expensive but I just felt more comfortable with Eric and his brother and their knowledge of the projects. We set up a time to do the work which at this time I had added two more sections of the property to have work done and they showed up on the day that they said they would and the people that installed the pavers knew what they were doing and worked or tails off and they did a fantastic job and everything was leveled out perfect and the Yard looks great. I would recommend Rock and Block highly."

"D&J (Justin) did a great job. Justin communicated well, and his team was on time and did their work with quality and timeliness. I waited a month to do this review. The driveway and walkway/porch have been used very extensively over the month and I am still extremely happy with the result."

"I love my new blinds! I wanted an inexpensive option to cover my windows and Peter came to my door to give me an estimate at the right time. The installation of (6) windows and (1) patio door didn't take long at all. The job was completed in a timely manner and professionally. I would definitely hire this company again!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Nellis Afb, NV

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.
