"Reviews were only mediocre about Colonial, but thought I'd give them a try. Wish I hadn't... They came out and sprayed for weed control, 6700 sq. ft. of lawn and did it all in less than 10 minutes, including dragging hose out and putting away. 2 weeks later only about 20% of weeds were wilting. Had to have them come back out for a 2nd application, of which they charged me for, shouldn't have and didn't refund my payment. They also sprayed for Crabgrass control on a separate occasion and again 2 weeks later, only about 20% of Crabgrass was wilting. Had to have them come back out and spray again. They weren't supposed to spray the Bent grass in the lawn and did it anyway, now dead spots all over my back lawn. Could not be more disappointed in my experience."

No job too big or small, quality is my top priority. With over 20 years of experience Kents Quality Concrete provides customers with the best concrete services.

"Kent was hired by my next door neighbors(both in their mid-80's) to replace a concrete retaining wall last summer. Prior to the job starting, Kent met with me with someone he introduced as his contracted landscaper. Since our property was downhill from the neighbors, Kent wanted to use our property to remove and replace the wall. He told me the heavy equipment he would have to use would tear up our lawn but that the landscaper would re-sod it. Eight of our stone flower boxes had to be removed to do the job-Kent also was to have his landscaper restore them as well. The demolition and removal of the old wall by crew #1 went fairly well. One of our 12 foot arborvitae did not survive; not sure if that was from crew #1 or #2. Crew #2 was responsible for building the new block wall. The wall was constructed crooked and the locking flange on many blocks was 2 to 3 inches from proper position to lock the blocks together. A good portion of the wall had to be taken down and the blocks placed in proper position. The wall was still crooked, but at least it was locked in place. The wall is supposed to be back filled with gravel-I'm not sure it ever was. But I did see a large amount of garbage (water bottles, the plastic wrap tying all the blocks on the pallets, etc) that probably does not help with drainage. In order to get the blocks back to the job site, a forklift was used. This chipped and broke the front of my driveway where it meets with the street. I wanted to talk to Kent about the damage to my property, but he had planned a 2 week vacation to the Caribbean. The crew boss called Kent on his phone and Kent then informed me that he did NOT have a landscaper but he would still take care of the lawn replacement. I found out that his planned repair of the lawn was to have one of his workers spray grass seed on the previous lawn without any preparation of the site, which was now my old, established lawn that was tore up by the heavy machinery covered with several inches of clay soil. When I told him that was not acceptable, he responded that his contract for this job was not with me but was with my neighbors. I refused to accept the hydroseeding. He did cut the driveway edge straight for me and replaced it with asphalt. Crew #1 was polite, efficient, and left the site clean. Crew #2 was also polite but other than the crew boss, seemed to be inexperienced and made multiple mistakes. Two of my large impact sprinklers were left covered with a foot of soil, an 8 foot section of pipe and a riser and sprinkler was cut off and left laying next to the wall without capping the pipe off-it was later reattached by the neighbor's son. Our house water hose was used by them without permission and the hose was left out strewn across the job site. The neighbors driveway was asphalted with a gutter placed next to the wall. There was a gap between the gutter and the asphalt driveway so water has been draining underneath the gutter rather than into it. So now the asphalt is all collapsing and will soon make the driveway unusable. Now there will need to be additional construction to repair that issue along the approximately 100 foot driveway. Sorry I'm not savvy enough with my phone to be able to attach any of my photos to this review. The neighbor's have been trying to resolve the issues with Kent but to no avail-he has taken payment ($55,000.00!) from them so he is done. And of course he is done with me as well. Never again will I allow anyone to 'use' and destroy my property to make a profit without a separate contract of my own. I would not recommend this business to anyone, ever."

Most business and homeowners don't know where to start with the lighting, let alone what a GOOD Lighting Design is. And finding out where to start can be a challenge. A lighting designer is someone who is NOT financially tied to any brand, but instead chooses "Performance over Product" while being mindful of Budget and Biology. Lighting is a fundamental law of physics that creates color, shades, perception, productivity, knowing, sleep, connectedness, warmth. Ever notice you walk in to a room and it doesn't feel right? Check the lighting. It can have enough light, but lots of glare because of the low cost, poor performance product out there. By partnering with an expert, you get someone in your corner who is looking out for your final project vision and will get you there without cutting corners, creating a beautifully lit dream home or business, while saving money on the material side.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Yakima, WA

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.
