"On Deck is excellent. They planted pine trees, oak, linden, and maples along with around 60 plants, shrubs and installed an irrigation system. Douglas is attentive, returns calls promptly and follows through on his promises. This is a very big deal for me. He helped design the landscape plan, knows how big or small everything he plants gets, and uses 3D videos portraying what it’ll look like, and takes a lot of my guesswork out. Last and not least, his prices are very competitive. I live in West Washoe Valley and can show all he’s done by going through Douglas first."

"Pure Magic!! That’s how they handled my new wrought iron fence installation. They built a custom jig so they could bend the rails to match the radius of the sidewalk on my corner lot. All the posts and rails are perfectly straight and level with self closing gates too. Very quick and clean work supported by competent and professional office staff made for a very pleasing experience. I’ll hire Enterprise Landscaping for all my future landscaping needs."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Sun Valley, NV

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.
