"RoRo Landscaping trimmed 90 feet of 20+ year-old Laurel hedge for me. The hedge was 10 feet high at each end and shorter in the middle. Rodrigo cut back the height on both ends and the overall width. He gave me a free estimate and showed up on the day he said he would. RoRo’s expert cutting, cleanup and professional attitude give me confidence to call on them again, if I have other landscaping projects. Here are pictures of the hedge, before and after trimming. My wife and I are very happy we chose RoRo Landscaping for this project. "

Customers say: Quality work

"I REALLY appreciated that Gary the owner came out and looked at the project, listened to my vision, gave me recommendations, and took measurements at that visit. The crew showed up on time and cleaned up great when done. It took a few days just as expected and everyday I could not wait to get home and see the progress. They removed an out of control trumpet vine and an old waterfall feature (huge rocks). They removed sod, laid a lot of nice rock, and built me an awesome fence! I put in garden containers myself and followed advice form Gary, was very kind of him to make recommendations. Darcy in the office had her act together and invoicing was smooth."

"Jose's Lawn Service did an excellent job laying new sod, working on the sprinklers, trimming trees and bushes, bark dust and installing a new fence panel and gate. Guato was very professional, friendly and made sure everything was done really well. I plan on keeping them for maintenance and lawn care and the prices were very affordable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Eugene, 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.
