"I couldn’t be happier with the service! The team came out to clean up my backyard and did an amazing job. They were fast, efficient, and paid attention to every detail. I especially love that they use organic methods, which makes me feel great about the safety of my garden and the environment. My backyard looks better than it has in years—clean, fresh, and ready to enjoy. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable and professional garden maintenance! 🌱🌿 Thank you Saudel and the rest of the team!"

"My decision to select G.M.G was based to some degree on their 5.0 star reviews- I can confidently recommend them- they live up to every one of these 5.0 star reviews- Gelacio and his partner delivered on their promises, worked efficiently and when the sprinkler issues turned into much more than we anticpated they got it done and the invoice still matched their estimate. Highly recommended and I have another project lined up for them. Thank you G.M.G!"

"Total Rip-off. WAY too expensive for the hours spent and mediocre work. One day spent one hour and 25 minutes. Charged $300.00. I think he thought I was a stupid 70 plus widow with a big property. Left a large stick leaning up against a fence in the driveway (they put it there) for one month. Never seemed to be able to see what needed to be done without telling them The work was for general clean-up twice a month. No big projects. Worked out to over $100 per hour. For that price I can get a good service-somewhere else."

"Israel and his team were great to work with and I am really happy with both of the projects they competed for me. They replaced an old, failing retaining wall with a beautiful stone retaining wall with a French drain behind it. I showed Israel pictures of what I wanted it to look like and his team did an amazing job making my vision a reality. They were careful with my existing plants and landscaping and went above and beyond by moving and repotting a shrub that I was unable to move by myself before the work began. They also replaced parts of my backyard that had been removed by neighbors and built a beautiful new fence and gate out of cedar. They did an amazing job matching the style of the existing fence and my yard looks so much better now. I am so happy with everything and I would work with GI Landscaping again anytime!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in West Linn, 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.
