"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn’t be happier with the landscaping work! He did an incredible job transforming our outdoor space and brought our vision to life. From the beginning, he was professional, dependable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure we were happy with the results. He paid attention to every detail and took the time to make sure everything was done correctly. Whether it was the plants, landscaping, rocks, cleanup, irrigation, or overall design, the quality of his work was outstanding. Everything looks beautiful, clean, and professionally done. What really stood out to us was his work ethic and the pride he takes in what he does. He was respectful of our property, communicated well throughout the project, and went above and beyond our expectations. If you’re looking for a landscaper who is hardworking, reliable, talented, and takes pride in his work, I highly recommend him. We absolutely love how everything turned out and would definitely hire Alberto."

"The workers were hard working. Did a great job. The only concern we had was the lack of attention to the workers: no porta potty and no machinery to help carry the heavy concrete. Still waiting for the $250 gift card reward, lol!"

Everything went well, except the painting portion. 


The drywall, removal and install and the mud portion was excellent quality and service


The window removal and install was excellent quality


The painting preps and quality standards of hiding the nails and caulking was not up to where it should have been. It took two trips to have the painter complete the project where it needed to be.


Otherwise would recommend this company they are punctual, professional and do quality work and ensure that the customer is satisfied with the job.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Orting, 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.
