Our Sod Installation Process

01

Site Preparation

Existing grass, weeds, and debris are removed. Soil is graded for proper drainage and amended with topsoil or compost as needed.

02

Sod Selection

We recommend the right grass variety for your climate, sun exposure, and intended use (foot traffic, aesthetics, drought tolerance).

03

Sod Installation

Fresh sod is delivered and installed in staggered rows, with seams tightly fitted and edges cut clean around beds and borders.

04

Rolling & Watering

Sod is rolled to eliminate air pockets and given an immediate deep watering. We provide a watering schedule for the critical establishment period.

Sod Installation FAQ for Denver Homeowners

How often should Denver homeowners get sod installation?
Given Denver's intense high-altitude uv (5,280 ft elevation accelerates fading), most homeowners benefit from sod installation at least once a year. Post-hail roof and siding inspection (May–August) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Denver most need sod installation?
Ranch and tri-level homes from 1960s–1980s and Victorian and Craftsman bungalows in older Denver neighborhoods are the most common home types in Denver and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How soon can I use my new sod lawn?
Light foot traffic is okay after 2 weeks. Full use is safe after 4–6 weeks once roots have established. Mowing can begin once the grass reaches the appropriate height.
How much does sod installation cost?
Sod installation typically runs $1–$2 per square foot for materials and labor. A typical 2,000 sq ft lawn costs $2,000–$4,000 installed.
What's the best time of year to install sod?
Spring and fall are ideal for most grass types, as moderate temperatures reduce stress and improve establishment. Sod can be installed in summer with more aggressive watering.
How often should I water new sod?
New sod needs watering 2–3 times daily for the first 2 weeks to keep it moist. After roots establish, transition to deeper, less frequent watering.
