"Jose and his crew are very hard workers and also very careful to do the work correctly. We had pavers laid and an entire irrigation system replaced and it all works great. We will have him again next month for more work."

"A huge storm took down both of my back fences, one concrete and one wood. It also twisted and destroyed my gate, 2 8 foot gates that cover the driveway. They came in rebuilt a 72 foot cinder block fence and repaired the other one. They rebuilt the entire gate. The work was wonderful, quick and the the clean up was so much better than expected. Ruben and Julio were both easy to work with and professional. The entire crew was very friendly and willing to answer any questions. I will hire them again and again."

Customers say: True professional

"I was very impressed with his professionalism, integrity and quality of work. The install was somewhat more involved than he originally bid, but he held true to his bid and there were no issues or additional charges. He followed up a few days later in person to insure everything was correct and not leaking and added some soil to the area they dug to do the install. If you need a reliable contractor for irrigation or landscape installs I highly recommend A Touch of Art Landscaping based on our excellent experience we had with this PVB Assembly install. He is AZROC licensed and insured. It seems so many contractors out in Sun City take advantage of our residents, it was refreshing to work with a contractor who wants to do the job right at a fair price. "

Customers say: Quick response

"I did not hire Alberto. His bid was more than twice the other bid I received ($3000 vs $1400). He did not itemize anything in the bid either. It was just a verbal price, not telling me what each of the requests I had would cost. It was very unprofessional. He never texted or emailed me a real bid either as I requested. It seems like he was just trying to rip me off. I would be weary of this company."

"Excellent work on removing a large acacia tree including stump removal. They also planted two new trees and installed the water system. New trees are thriving. It’s been three years. The crew completed the jobs in a half day and were very tidy. A little high on price, but worth it. "

FAQs for sod installation projects in Surprise, 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.
