"We hired Sol Scapes Solutions to install our sprinkling system, put in a pathway with pavers, and lay sod. They started digging trenches without doing any kind of leveling, removing rock debris, or weeds that had been there for 4 years. They put sprinklers in the wrong places and then started laying sod on uneven, rocky, weedy ground. We told them it was unacceptable and to start over and begin again by leveling our yard first. They brought in rakes and began hand raking rock hard dirt. We told them they would need to bring in big machines, tillers and skid steers in order to do the job right. They said they couldn't do that because the sprinklers were already in and they didn?t want to have their machines dig them up. We told them that was their problem and to figure it out. After many conversations explaining to them how to do their job, they finally brought in some equipment to try to level our yard and lay sod and it looks like crap! We would NEVER recommend them to ANYONE!"

"We hired this team in late fall for major landscaping work and have been extremely impressed. The top priority was repairing a 50-foot retaining wall to ensure it was structurally sound... and they delivered! They also rewired our sprinkler system, xeriscaped a portion of our front yard, planted a new tree, extended our driveway, and repaired backyard concrete steps. Fast turnaround and excellent quality throughout. Huge thanks to David O Callaghan (project manager) for clear communication and strong guidance. Greg (manager) was great to work with, and Luis (team lead) is an outstanding hands-on leader. The whole crew took pride in their work, reused materials when possible, and used high-quality materials for the new areas. Their communication, guidance, and commitment to a spring follow-up to ensure wall integrity and sprinkler performance make it 5/5. We will update after the spring visit, and we confidently recommend them to anyone! "

"The grass they installed wasn?t very good. It was patchy. And when we asked about the sprinklers and drip lines they installed they would not answer or explain how they worked. The weed liner they put up came out a few days after installed and weeds grew up every where within a couple days."

"Worx installed a sprinkler system and laid sod for our front and back yards. They were prompt in their replies during the estimate, honest about what it would cost and the work involved, and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the finished product."

"Franklin did a great job! He was very mindful with our modest budget and planned a beautiful retaining wall and walkway for our sloped yard for a very reasonable price. He communicated well and completed the work in the timeframe he specified. He is one of the kindest and most reliable contractors I’ve ever met."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Sandy, 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.
