"Rich Che and the CNS Empire Landscape crew did fabulous improvements on our family home in Wheat Ridge. They corrected drainage on three sides of an addition so water flows away from the house instead of into the crawlspace; replaced 30 feet of exit pipe from the perimeter drain around the foundation of the addition; installed new sod; and removed weeds from landscaped rock areas in the front yard. The improvements look great. Shortly afterwards, I engaged an inspector to check the foundation. The inspector said he visits about 400 houses each year, and this drainage remediation is among the best he’s seen."

"We moved into a new build and had to landscape a backyard from scratch. We got several quotes and Sigi and his team stood out to us. For one, Sigi showed up personally to help us out and walk us through the process; every single time. You would be surprised how many contractors simply don't bother to return calls or show up! Sig worked with our budget and followed up after the sod install to make sure the sprinklers were set correctly. He and his team even helped us unload trees even though it was not part of their job, and cleaned up the dirt afterwards. It's the little things that matter; and MG got all of the little things right."

"Larry and his crew were truly fabulous and extremely professional to work with every single day for the entire job (5 days). They showed up on time every day and worked solidly through till the end of the day. They didn't quit until the everything was done.

Larry was always available whenever I had any questions or concerns. He was professional but easy to get along with and always happy. I was nervous about the whole job as I didn't feel like I had communicated my vision or what I wanted to happen. At our initial meeting, Larry was receptive to our ideas but also understood that we were open to ideas and suggestions that he might provide. We had met with other contractors and they had provided us with comparable quotes to Larry's. However, those quotes were exactly what we had communicated with no suggestions for improvements or other options. We had some ideas of what we wanted for an end result, but no real clear details. Larry was able to bring his 40+ years of experience and knowledge to the table and guide us in the right direction and am I ever glad he did. There's a lot to be said for experience. The end result is incredible and even now, 3 months later, we still step outside andare amazed with the transformation of our backyard. We LOVE it. I couldn't be happier with the final product.

After the complete demolition of the backyard, Larry's crew installed patio pavers. The quality with which the pavers were installed is comparable to what you would find on a high-traffic commercial site. All of the proper steps were followed and the necessary layers (i.e.: road base, sand) installed. In addition to the pavers, we had three beautiful raised planters installed, along with the necessary sprinkler system. We had two steps installed off the house as well and I was really concerned with them being too small and I wanted to make sure that my concerns were heard and heeded. Both Larry and his crew reassured me that they understood what I wanted and they nailed it. They built exactly what I wanted.

Anytime I had a concern with the way something was going, Larry was receptive and positive about my feedback and any concerns were immediately addressed. As well, Larry made sure that at the end of the job that we went through everything together and addressed any and all concerns. As with any major job, little things happen. For instance, some of the stucco on the side of our house was scratched and broken when the flagstones were moved and one of the fence boards was broken. Larry addressed those two specific things immediately and fixed them himself, as well as any other problems. I hesitate to even call them problems, as they were dealt with so fast and so professionally, that I never felt that they even escalated to a and quot;problem statusand quot;.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Larry and his crew for any sort of paver work, or other work, you are considering. They are professional, honest, hard-working and friendly. They are truly a great local company that I am proud to have worked with."

"Chris responded quickly to request for quote. Acquiring (RTF) sod took a few days longer than proposed. Installation was fast but gaps between slabs were at times too big. Price was very good. They cleaned up and offered to take unused sod. Would hire again."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Watkins, CO

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.
