New lawns: sod installation and hydroseeding
Sod gives you a finished, usable lawn the same week and chokes out weeds from the start. Hydroseed costs less and takes longer — you're growing the lawn rather than unrolling it.
Either way, the lawn is only as good as the ground under it. We grade, prepare the soil and get the sprinklers right before any grass goes down.
Fresh sod with curved beds — one of our own jobs.
Is this right for you?
A good fit if…
- You're starting from bare dirt on a new build.
- Your old lawn is patchy, weedy or bumpy and worth starting over.
- You want a smaller, better-shaped lawn with curbing around it.
How we do it
Step by step.
- 1
Grade and prepare
Old turf removed if needed, ground graded away from the house, and the soil loosened and prepared so roots can get down into clay.
- 2
Get the sprinklers right
New or adjusted heads so coverage is even edge to edge — new lawns fail where the water doesn't reach.
- 3
Lay sod or spray hydroseed
Sod rolled tight with staggered seams, or hydroseed sprayed evenly over the prepared ground.
- 4
Set the watering schedule
New sod needs watering twice a day for about the first two weeks while it roots. We set the timer and show you how to taper it off.
Your choices
What you get to decide.
Sod
Instant lawn, usable in a couple of weeks, fewer weeds. Costs more.
Hydroseed
Lower cost, takes weeks to fill in and needs steady watering while it germinates. Best in spring or fall.
Utah weather & soil
A lawn that makes sense in Utah
Most Salt Lake Valley lawns are cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass: happy in our cool spring and fall, thirsty in July and August. That's why we shrink lawns to the area you actually use and put the rest in rock or planting.
New lawns need the most water of their lives in the first few weeks. Planning a new lawn for spring or early fall — and around your secondary water season, which runs roughly May to mid-October in Riverton — makes establishing it much easier.

What moves the price.
We don’t give prices over the phone, because a number for a yard we haven’t seen is a guess. Jason walks it with you and you get a written estimate — free, with no obligation.

What people ask us.
Sod or hydroseed — which should I choose?
If you want a lawn now, sod. If budget matters more than time and you can water consistently for several weeks, hydroseed. We'll recommend one for your yard and season.
How much do I water new sod?
About twice a day for the first two weeks while it roots, then taper back. We set the timer for you.
Can sod go down in summer?
Yes, with careful watering. Spring and early fall are easier on it.
