Sod Installation

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

Sod Installation FAQ for Salt Lake City Homeowners

How often should Salt Lake City homeowners get sod installation?
Given Salt Lake City's intense high-altitude uv at 4,226 ft elevation degrading all exterior finishes, most homeowners benefit from sod installation at least once a year. Heavy snow removal from driveways, roofs, and walkways (Dec–March) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Salt Lake City most need sod installation?
Brick bungalows from early 1900s–1950s in Sugarhouse and 9th/9th and Ranch homes in suburban Salt Lake and Utah counties are the most common home types in Salt Lake City 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.
