"Julio, Ruben, and the crew did an outstanding job. We wanted an outdoor BBQ/bar, a wall to mount a tv, a fireplace made, and pavers installed. They built and installed everything we wanted in 7 days. It was perfectly made and installed a beautiful job well done. Everyone was professional, dependable, communicative, hardworking, and best of all they cleaned up after the job was completed. I highly recommend this company. You will be 100% satisfied. I wish I could upload the before and after pics. We plan on hiring them again."

"I was very pleased with A Touch of Art Landscape. My yard was transformed from a very blah, boring spot to a beautiful, happy, cheerful looking place. After the work was done, Art came back several times to make sure the plants were doing well. They also installed a watering system. Art showed me how it works and assured me he would come back if I needed any help with it. I will definitely use A Touch of Art again for other projects."

"Many landscapers out there say they know how to fix irrigation leaks, but Alberto REALLY knows and he fixes it properly. <br /> I used his company on 4 different days and he was always on time and courteous.  His crew was very hard working and they knew what to do without him directing their every move. <br /> I will definitely use his company again. <br /> I would recommend him to my family members. <br /> <br />"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Sun City, 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.
