"Very hard working crew. Cleanup of my flowerbeds and mulched, side yard cleaned out and landscape barrier and gravel installed, pressure washed all hard surfaces- sidewalks, driveway, concrete flowerbed borders. Everything I asked was done efficiently. I am very happy with the results."

"Was very impressed with Kyle the owner when he came out to give me a bid, first off he was prompt he was very personable and friendly. We discussed the advantages of hydro seeding compared to sod and went with the hydro seed. I'm sure he would have made more profit had I gone with the sod but he was more concerned about my satisfaction than his bottom line which is very refreshing not many people like that any more I would highly recommend Kimball Landscaping they did and excellent job in a timely fashion."

"communications with the project coordinators sometimes went a while between hearing back and getting scheduled but once I was given a day for the install it was very well done, the installer was knowledgeable and friendly and did a great job for the money. got a higher quality sod delivered and installed for less than buying lower quality sod from home depot and installing myself would have cost. highly recommend HC construction."

"We were very happy with the experience of working with Jeff and with the work done. Jeff came to my home to view the existing yard and talk about what we wanted to do. He offered advice and helped us make some decisions about what to do. By that evening, he had provided a written estimate that detailed all the work involved. We talked to 2 other companies but Jeff's bid was the lowest by a lot in one in case and just by a little in the other. We chose Jeff in the end not just because of the low bid but because he had demonstrated that he is very responsive to questions and concerns, was going to be on site himself, and was able to start work sooner and take less time. We also liked that he guarantees his hardscaping for 5 years. Jeff started and completed the work exactly on schedule. He kept us apprised of the work as it went. After the lawn was installed, he gave us detailed written instructions on how to care for it. We love our new patio and lawn and have been enjoying it immensely."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Spanaway, 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.
