"Was very impressed with Kyle the owner when he came out to give me a bid, first off he was prompt he was very personable and friendly. We discussed the advantages of hydro seeding compared to sod and went with the hydro seed. I'm sure he would have made more profit had I gone with the sod but he was more concerned about my satisfaction than his bottom line which is very refreshing not many people like that any more I would highly recommend Kimball Landscaping they did and excellent job in a timely fashion."

"PERFECT... Scott was very professional and KNEW what he was talking about.  I had some lights added to our original system that were sub-standard (installed by a licensed landscaper) to say the least.  He located and fixed a problem I had in the front yard, my lights in front quit working.  He located the line/connections quickly,fixed the issue and replaced a burned out buld.  We then talked about re-vamping, adding and changing out my entire landscaping light system.  He came up w/re-purposing some lights from the front yard and adding them to the back yard, plus retrofitting them all w/LED (cheaper to run). 
He is completing an estimate to have everything updated, replaced, changed and lights added. I am soooooo excited to proceed with the "new" system and his ideas.  My only regret is not having him install my landscaping lighting the first time and the second time I had additional lights added.... I will not be making that mistake again... Call Scott, he's awesome!!


I have had the new lights and system for a year now, I have not replaced a single buld or had ANY issues with this new system.  I am truly amazed at the service and product he installed/repaired last year.  He was able to re-purpose some of my commercial grade lights and I added some.  I also went with all new wire to make sure everything worked well and not pieced together.  SO HAPPY with the outcome and it ALL works together properly for the first time in years.

Overall the experience was good. The person showed up on time ready to complete the list I had sent ahead of time. He was courteous, respectful of my home, and completed the work quickly-- so quickly I wish I had added a couple more items to the task list! My only complaint is the drywall patch does not look good, so I'll have to try and fix that myself.

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.
