"Our existing irrigation system was over 15 years old and was beginning to spring leaks throughout our property.  After receiving a very competitive estimate, we contracted with AZ NativeScapes to remove the old irrigation system and to replace it with a new system.  They were able to complete the installation in one day to our total satisfaction.
We found Craig Rawlings and his team to be very professional and considerate.  They use only the best materials and latest technology.  Their work is top notch and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering an installation of this nature.

"Emanuel and his crew did an excellent job on some landscaping work in our back yard here in Mesa. They put down border tiles around our rose bushes, and put sod in where we ask them to. The job was done professionally and it looks GREAT! I would recommend highly. John & Maureen B."

"Joe and his crew (German, Jose, & Julio) did a super amazing job on my outdoor kitchen, and installing pavers on the complete side of my house. Meticulously built and detailed. I could not have been more pleased and Joe is very responsive and flexible. I will definitely use him again on future projects . Highly recommended! I wish I could post a picture here of their work, it came out beautiful. Thanks Joe !"

"Excellent. Better than expected. Other companies wanted to install an entire new sprinkler & drip system. Esteban was able to utilize what was in place & upgrade."
Before Picture: A blank canvas! The entire yard was graded and prepped before additional layers were installed.
Before picture:  Starting point! An automatic sprinkler and drip system was installed for the plants that were coming.
We used a unique and special sod for their grass as one of children had allergies. We added citrus trees for the same consideration and also to bear edible fruit!
The patio area was enlarged with a paver border extension.
A paver seating area was created for relaxation and entertainment.  To the right is the play area which was created specifically to hold a trampoline and above ground pool. Paver borders and crushed granite were used throughout, bringing harmony and balance to the overall design.

"We started with nothing and after a couple of weeks we have an oasis! Luis and his crew put in irrigation, pavers, a concrete border for the plants, sod, rock and a lot of bushes and flowers. We spend a lot of time enjoying our backyard now. Our dogs are loving the grass and we love all of it! They did an amazing job!"

"Originally we hired MasterAZscapes to prepare a comprehensive landscape plan for our 35 year old home two years ago to completely remodel an old landscape. We were very pleased with the plan. MasterAZscapes is known for its tree planting services. It successfully did a complex large tree planting for our back yard two years ago, and the trees are healthy sailing through a damaging frost this winter. After putting the installation of the front and courtyard demolition out for bid, for this current project, we hired MasterAZscapes to demo the front yard, install the trees and plants, set up the drip system, install the wiring for future landscape lights, new rock, and install the artificial grass. We are thrilled with the completion of the front and courtyard areas which they completed on budget and less time than they originally predicted. The staff was superb and patient even after we changed our mind on placement of an important plant that was just not quite where we wanted it. With good humor, the staff re dug the planting hole moving it until we all were much happier with the result. The staff and ownership, across the board is talented, loves their job, and will work until the customer is happy. We are slowly implementing the original master plan and will look toward to MasterAZscapes in the future as we implement each project."

FAQs for sod installation projects in San Tan Valley, AZ

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.
