"Henry and team completely renovated our backyard. They installed a retaining wall, concrete patio, rock, sod and a portion of fence with a gate . They also trimmed up the trees and planted new perennials. Henry was very communicative throughout the process and we absolutely loved his designs and ideas. His team was very hardworking and fast without compromising quality. We even had a couple of neighbors comment on what a great job they were doing. We couldn't be happier with our new backyard. It's gorgeous!"

"After our neighbor’s recommendation we hired D & D Tree Service & Landscape to build a fence for our backyard. We are extremely pleased with their work and the company. Everyone was extremely efficient and professional. Our new fence is beautiful. We have also decided to hire them to install a sprinkler system and sod in the backyard."

"Our home came with a "xeriscaped" back yard, with about 550 square feet of 12"x9" pavers. The original homeowner's contractor installed the pavers incorrectly: directly on the bare ground, with no gravel or weed barrier. A number of gaps started appearing, and some pavers were unlevel. We also were getting a lot of weeds growing between the pavers, which were a pain to pull up. My wife found Minh last year in Angie's List, and he gave us a very reasonable estimate, but we decided to hold off on the project until now. Minh still honored the old estimate, even though material costs have gone up considerably since then. Minh and his crew did an *outstanding* job in taking up all of the pavers, tamping and leveling the ground, laying down a weed barrier, putting down a layer of breeze gravel, reinstalling the pavers, and then applying polymeric sand between the pavers to make it solid and weed-resistant. He plus his crew did the initial work, but Minh himself did all of the paver re-installation and sand-spreading himself to ensure a super-high quality result. It was completed over the course of five business days, which were during 90-degree+ daytime temperatures. Minh is super easy to work with, he is meticulous in his craftsmanship, very responsive to phone and texts, and has a great work ethic. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs stonework or any other landscaping work done. Extra kudos for getting this project done during a heatwave!"

"These guys are great! Very flexible on their working schedule, they even came by on Sunday to finish up the sod! The wife and I couldn't be happier with the sod and new deck they installed. On top of that he threw in mulch work that I didn't even ask for, but it desperately needed it! Rich is great!"

"I am very happy with my experience with Rock N Block. They did a great job installing turf in my backyard. They worked with me to give many options to make this project fit in my budget. The installation team were very professional and the yard looks wonderful!"

"MG Landscaping did an excellent job on our front yard rock conversion. They removed the old grass and installed a clean, low-maintenance landscape with black granite border rock, river rock in the center, steel edging, plants, and drip irrigation. The finished project looks sharp, clean, and professionally done. The contrast between the dark border and the river rock really improved the curb appeal of the house. The crew worked hard, paid attention to the details, and left the area looking neat when they were finished. We are very happy with the final result and would recommend MG Landscaping to anyone looking for xeriscaping or a front yard landscape upgrade. Thank you, MG Landscaping!"

"I hired them to get an irrigation system up and running that was winterized by the prior tenants. I just purchased the house in January and it is my first rodeo with lawn sprinklers so they got it up and running. Only issue is programming no literature was left with the unit and technician left left with no hints."

"Larry (Centennial Landscaping) in conjunction with Rock (Fortress) designed our backyard landscaping as well as installed. Larry was always prompt and on time. We had a certain budget we wanted to stay within for this project and Larry worked with me to stay within that budget. He even went out to Home Depot to buy our HOA required plants - knowing they would be cheaper than the nursery he uses (probably, not as good of quality, but I appreciate the brainstorm!) Rock was out throughout the whole install process - from the rocks, cement, plants, and sod. We are very happy with the end result and I don't think we could have bet that price!I would 100% recommend to anyone.Thanks!!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Denver, 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.
