"Carey and his team did an incredible job. We had a significant project on our hands - needing to install drip watering zones and lawn sprinkler zones on a 1/4 acre. We needed to remove grass and level the yard, move a shed, install bark, sprinklers, and sod. Carey's team got it done in a week! They kept the jobsite clean, and even the city drove by and gave their thumbs up. The landscaping looks beautiful and the sprinklers are working well. Carey even had the team come back the next season to help with some pressure regulators. Carey has good experience and knows how to get things done efficiently. I think Carey has a wide breadth and depth of expertise and would be good to work with on large jobs like ours and I am sure smaller jobs too."

"I hired a landscape contractor last year. The name of the company is Super Lopez LLC. The owner is Edgar Lopez. His business TN is 801–300–5085. It’s easier to reach him by text. I had broken my back & was unable to remove the jungle from my yard. I had several contractors provide quotes. One of the things that I recommend is that you not hire someone that charges hourly. You will have no idea of what the final cost will be. They came to my home when they promised. If there was a delay he called or messaged to let me know. He has 2 brothers that work with him. All are friendly, professional and work extremely hard. They hauled everything away. I was so happy with the work they did, I had them re-landscape my yard. Requiring extensive sprinkler work, removal of old sod & 4” soil. New topsoil, sod and pouring curbing. The sod requires less water and is more heat resistant. I’ve hired them again this year for misc weeding & handyman work. They are great to work with! "

"Fransico and his team did an excellent job. Their bid was very competitive and well-priced. They took out our existing grass, set up a drip sprinkler system, installed rock, and put in a paver walking path. His team worked quickly but did a very nice job. I was highly impressed with the paver walkway. It needed to be curved, which is not easy, and they nailed it. Looks great. Francisco communicated well and often. I am very excited to see our front yard now. I would use them again for another project."

"I needing to add some sod to my backyard and pull out some weed grass and add sod to the front yard. I also need shade seed grass in the back and a sprinkler system overhaul. I called several companies and even had a few come by for an estimate before I found Romero. Other companies seemed to think my job was too small for them. They wasted my time coming by and then never following up with me. Others were willing to do the work but not for weeks and in one case even a few months. Romero was able to give me an estimate over the phone after I took some photos of the yard, he also came by and looked around before I agreed to pay. His team was ready to do the work within a week of the estimate. And he didn't just bring two guys- he brought a large team that could do a lot of work in a short amount of time. The came by on time and worked fast and professionally. I was around and when I didn't like something and asked for something else to be done they did right away- no complaining! We had a miscommunication and something was left undone- no problem, text to Romero and boom, they came back and did what I asked. I am very impressed with this company and highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional yard work done right and done soon."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Salt Lake City, UT

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.
