Our Process
Soil Preparation
We remove old turf if needed, grade the surface for proper drainage, and amend the soil with organic compost to give your new sod the best possible foundation.
Sod Selection
We source fresh sod from local Colorado farms, selecting the variety best suited to your sun exposure and water preferences.
Installation
Sod is laid in a staggered pattern, pressed firmly into the soil, and edges are trimmed for a clean finish. Seams are tight to prevent drying.
Aftercare
We provide a detailed watering schedule and check back at 2 and 4 weeks to ensure the sod is rooting properly and establishing well.

Sod Installation FAQs
Sod installation in Denver typically runs $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot installed, including soil preparation and starter fertilizer. A 1,000 square foot lawn costs roughly $1,500 to $3,000. The exact price depends on existing conditions, grade work needed, and sod variety selected.
The best windows for sod installation in Denver are spring (April to May) and early fall (September to mid-October) when temperatures are moderate and cool-season grasses establish quickly. Summer installation is possible but requires more intensive watering.
Avoid heavy foot traffic for the first 2 to 3 weeks while roots are establishing. Light traffic (walking to check the sprinklers) is fine after one week. After 3 to 4 weeks, the sod should be rooted well enough for normal use.
Some yellowing during the first week is normal as the sod adjusts. Persistent browning usually indicates underwatering, which is the most common issue in Denver's dry climate. Follow the watering schedule we provide closely, and contact us if you see brown patches spreading after the first week.
