"We are so pleased with our new lawn. We got several bids. We chose Doug because we just liked him and felt good about it. He was always on time. The crew he brought worked hard and steady. They were all friendly. When the job was finished they cleaned up and left our property better than they found it. It s been 10 days since the sod was laid. Everything is still green and healthy looking. We would hire him again in a heartbeat"

"Jeff at CLC kept us informed of his schedule of what would be accomplished each day and they stuck to what they told us all along the way. They were good about cleaning up at the end of the day as the project progressed. When it came to setting the steps, he laid out the forms and made sure of what we wanted before permenantly installing them. When they encountered an unexpected pipe, he was able to get that taken care of without a worry."

"We hired Premier Landscape Construction for a waterfront retaining wall at our property in Des Moines, Washington and the experience was outstanding. Their team was incredibly knowledgeable about shoreline construction and drainage, and they built a beautiful, solid retaining wall that completely transformed our waterfront. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were impressive, and they kept everything clean and organized throughout the project. If you?re looking for a reliable contractor for retaining walls or landscape construction in Des Moines, WA, I highly recommend Premier Landscape Construction."

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.
