"Forest Landscaping did a great job -- they ended up going a bit deeper than initially expected to get a solid base, but I am very pleased with what was done. The shed installation folks were impressed -- one of the few base preps they see that are solid, flat, and level. I'd happily use Forest Landscaping again."

Customers say: True professional

"Pablo and crew were excellent. We had a couple of things we wanted to take care of and Pablo had a vision and painted a picture of how he would transform the whole patio. Other landscapers said they would do this or that but Pablo was able to do it all. GTG was always on time and respectful of the property. Now we are the talk of the neighborhood as people drop by to admire our new patio."

"I hired Susan from Every Thing Gardens to redo our sod, add more plants, and put in some pavers in the backyard. She’s super responsive, her prices were totally reasonable, and you can tell she really loves plants. Her team did a great job!"

"We had All In One Excavation & Landscaping LLC put in a new lawn, sprinkler system, brick pavers, plants/shrubs and landscape lighting. They also installed a fence with a retaining wall along the backside of our property and a new fence on the side of our house. There is no way we could have gotten this work done any better. We have pictures to prove their quality of work. We loved their work! Amazing job!"

"From the estimation process forward, Keith was the consummate professional. He provided information and alternatives for consideration based on the goal we had articulated to him. His estimatewas not only timely, but contained a detailed break down of each element of the project and pricing on the alternatives. He provided assistance in dealing with the needs of my neighbor who was sharing the cost of installing a common retaining wall and fencing. She was so satisfied with his professionalism and the outcome of the job that she retained his services for another project she had done. I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalis"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Troutdale, OR

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.
