Customers say: True professional

"Eric and his crew were very professional, and fast! Eric addressed all our concerns and was quick to respond to text messages and any missed calls. Being able to send pictures to Eric made communication much easier and faster when trying to describe something we wanted changed. They properly installed an irrigation system with a shutoff valve, pressure regulator, automatic valve, back-flow prevention valve, filter and plenty of flush out end caps. Our family is extremely thrilled with the landscaping and our kids are especially excited about their bike racetrack!"

"Overall work was done well. One outlet was wired incorrectly, but was tested before the electrician left. Unfortunately GFCI was blown due to incorrect wiring. Electrician replaced outlet at no charge and I exchanged the GFCI at hardware store and installed myself. No harm no foul. I was supposed to get an invoice sent via email after the fact, but I never got it. Required work was completed and price was reasonable."

"Contractor keep appointment (even though there were 2 or 3 calls expressing confusion about time and day); installed the drywall and cleaned the area.   The drywall installation was not smooth and when textured looked amateurish at best.  Before I could paint I had to sand several areas and apply canned texture-not the most professional look but time was a factor.  the next time the wall is painted will require extensive prep work to make it look professional.
Good things: appointment keep; work was done as explained; no extra charges.
Not so good: Technician was not a drywall guy.

"Mountain Side showed up on time as scheduled, completed the work as planned and on time. Our job entailed going from bare sand to cement patio with decorative rocks and gravel, planting of native plants, irrigation, turf installation and a flagstone walk. The entire crew was courteous and would ask for our input if there was a question. We were given the opportunity to select materials from multiple vendors and were able to pick exactly what we wanted. Would use them again and would recommend them to others."

"The landscape work was simple, but the price was great, I was injured, and he brought a 6 person crew that actually knew what plants they were looking at and how to care for them.  Great Job
Second Job:  I had an emergency and very small window to get a kitchen (with about 10 layers of old vinyl underneath)  and a bathroom (without a complete subfloor?)  tiled.  This was an odd situation at best.  His price was too low for me to feel right about it, so I paid him more than he asked for.  He knew I was moving out and brought out a cleaner to d everything.  He showed up on time (rare in construction) and stayed all night knowing it had to be ready for grouting the next day to get my tenants in.  He saved me a 3 year lease.  He took on about ten extra tasks from installing a light fixture, fixing baseboards, patch paint work, caulking a whole tub and everything else I threw at him.  
Bottom Line:  This guy likes to work.  He won't let you done.  He is trustable.  He'll work all night for you if you don't have another choice.  I've had about 25 years working with people in construction, and no one else would have finished and saved my lease.  He knew it was important, and my business was important to him, no matter the task.  You'll be impressed by him work and professionalism.   He does everything he can do to keep you happy.

"Overall it went well. We had a few date/day changes that worked out though I stress when I need to adjust my work schedule. I work full time and have learned that I need to be on -site when work is done by independents. I also have 3 dogs that need to be managed. As a widowed and single older person, I feel a bit more protective of my space and security both during and in the future. Phillip is quite Jovial - nice 'good ol boy' affect from Texas. Very casual. I went ahead and had the work done on outside Gazebo (More an open Ramada) that got attached to existing structure so we'll see how that goes. I prefer more detailed specifications on the build. I won't use him for additional structures attached to my home until I'm retired. I could attached a photo if my son helps me but not at this time. Want to say he di modify the slatting on top to preserve existing vines as requested. Very Happy about that spec. treatment."

"Easy and speedy service. No complaints. I provided fan, they installed in already wired outlet in ceiling. There was a little difficulty with bracket in ceiling matching with new fan. They figured it out pretty quickly and solved with some extra parts they had in their truck - always a plus when contractors can think on their feet AND have extra parts in the truck :)) Fan working and looking great.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Tome, NM

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.
