He thoroughly answered all our questions and cleared up any concerns we had along the way. He and his team also cleaned up well after the installation. Highly recommend Koritas Services and would absolutely work with them again!"

"Orlando and crew did a great job with landscaping a joined backyard and our front yard. He had to take direction from multiple parties and get 4-5yds of mulch into a tricky close quarters, hilly portion of land in South Seattle. They cleaned up the dirt that was inevitably tracked onto our front porch before leaving, too. Highly recommended, will use Groview for yard maintenance in the future!"

"Amado and his entire crew were a delight to work with as they redesigned our backyard from the ground up. Amado is incredibly knowledgeable about every detail that goes into getting your landscaping project to be exactly what you were hoping for, if not better than you'd pictured. We had a general sketch of what we wanted and he was able to tell us what was possible, what wasn't going to work and why, and how to improve things both to be more aesthetically pleasing and to reduce costs where possible. His crew were unfailingly polite and professional and, of course, very good at getting everything executed! We will definitely be repeat customers, once we figure out what we want done with the front yard!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Renton, 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.
