"Yes, we are very happy with the work done. We hired Ever Flowers Landscaping to install 1500 sq ft of sod in our backyard. Mr Ignacio and his team did a great job, they were efficient, friendly, and professional. Mr Ignacio made sure his team left the work area nice and clean and he provided me with instructions on care for our new lawn. My wife and I will be spending a lot more time in our backyard now. Thank You Angi, Thank You Ever Flowers, and especially Thank You to Mr Ignacio and his team !!!"

"Excellent. Clean Cut, Judd & Josh & their crew were prompt, courteous & affordable. They were conscientious in following my instructions to install new lines, branches, feed lines & emitters while not disrupting the landscape too much. They did as I asked, lines were placed along the periphery front & back, minimal disruption to existing landscaping & then proceeded to add the requested stone on the side & back, followed by restoring the front, side & back to their original condition. Clean Cut completed the job in 1.5 days. The cost was quite reasonable. They provided my with a full 1year warranty on materials & workmanship. I am very pleased the job they did upon completion. I have have used Clean Cut before for extensive landscape improvement, seasonal trimming of plants & shrubs, & prior drip system repair as needed. I rate them as a 5 Star Service for all your landscaping needs. Judd & Josh always check to make sure that the job is completed to your satisfaction."

"Gonzales Landscaping did an excellent job installing new valves for my sprinkler system. Andres showed up on time to give me an estimate and also on the day of the project. They also did a good job cleaning up. I feel the price for this project was very reasonable. Today they came out and worked on a leaking sprinkler. I will be hiring them for more projects I need done."

"Ivan was_willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything was ready for my next projects, He didn't have to bring me gravel to fill the shed foundation, but he wanted to make sure I was all set up. He was also open to performing other tasks when they appeared necessary during the main project. He always wants to make sure the customer gets the final result they desire."

"It went extremely well. Kristen and Raul arrived promptly and started to work straight away. They assessed the job (range hood installation, electrical outlet and wireless security cameras installation. For each service many adjustments had to be made to my existing area. They tackled it head on and got it done. They were very respectable to me as their client and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend these young men for whatever the project might be. Once the project is complete they make certain that the area is clean. Most importantly, their rates are most reasonable. They're going to be my go to maintenance team."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Radium Springs, NM

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.
