"Replaced entire yard with new SOD (including topsoil), shrub pruning, top covering, weed fabric for beds, and a small side fence installation. The entire Koritas Services team was exceptional. I appreciated Cesar and his professional approach to the estimation of the project. His team, during three days of installation this spring, showed up on time, worked quickly and maintained a very high level of attention to detail. We will continue to use them as our landscaping company in all future projects and would recommend them to anyone!"

"We needed a short retaining wall and, based previous ratings and estimate, we hired Magical Forest General Contractor & Landscaping LLC to do the work. Not only did they do an excellent job, they gave me a great suggestion for installing stone stairs. He did an awesome job with that as well! We will definitely hire Ricardo and his team again for our landscaping needs."

"Very well. Some babying was required to turn brown spots on turf installed on day 2 to green and one edge was not underlined with new top soil for a patch about 5 feet long and 4" or less wide but otherwise finished result, now 6 weeks old looks great ... almost perfect. Crew was efficient, friendly, and put unused portion of sod I paid for in my backyard where I was able to get some use of it."

"We put out bids to landscaping maintenance companies to weed all of our flower beds (We have as many as a small city park), put down caseron and beauty bark, and prune. The bid came in at half of what the other companies wanted. Two days later, they sent in four strong guys who worked like machines. We are SO happy with the work! The place looks better than it has, well, in 47 years. It is so gorgeous we should charge people to come in and look around at our flower beds. I put the beds in when I was younger but my husband and I are now in our late 70's and can no longer keep the place up. We have been looking for years for a dependable company like this. Really, it is almost impossible to find a landscaping maintenance company that will pull weeds. There are no contracts. They have agreed to come every two weeks for a reasonable price and keep things looking good. This is very important to us, because it will allow us to live in our beautiful home longer."

"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."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Tacoma, 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.
