"Our backyard job included a retaining wall, patio, staircase and sod. Brandon, Oz and the crew did an amazing job on all aspects of the project. They brought a glitch in the stairway to our attention and resolved the issue quickly and that portion was finished the next day. They were straightforward, efficient and very easy to work with. We are extremely pleased with the results and would definitely recommend them."

"The outdoor kitchen project had been on our list for years, but we wanted it done right. Way To Go Builders, under Miki's supervision, poured a concrete base, installed paver surfacing, and faced the kitchen island with natural stone veneer. The attention to detail - from the joint alignment to the gas line integration - was remarkable. The finished space fits the architecture perfectly and gives us a true entertaining area, not just a patio."

"Steve replaced a defective sprinkler timer with a updated smart timer. He installed the unit and walked me through the programming, made sure everything worked. The old wiring was sloppy where Steve made it look very clean. Very friendly and knowledgeable, I would highly recommend him."

"Diego was amazing! He was very patient (our HOA dragged their feet and took a long time with the approval process) , he explained everything well, was always timely and very reasonably priced. His company installed our turf, with great efficiency and care and even accommodated our nitpicky requests. Would definitely recommend and re-hire if need be!"

"Cipriano Perez and his team are world class! They are honest men who care deeply about their work. They completely transformed our backyard into something that exceeded even my best expectations. His price was fair and the guys were always on time, respectful, and never changed anything without consulting us first. Cipriano went above and beyond, adding several extra elements to the project. This is the definition of top-quality service. He has even come back to make sprinkler adjustments and continued visiting to make sure the sod is growing properly. This is someone who is truly proud of his work. You can hire a big-name company with a large team that treats your project like just another job. Or you can hire a smaller, experienced team that won’t settle for anything less than the best. That’s this team. Cipriano and his guys are the definition of quality over quantity and you will truly get the most out of your money. I recommend C Perez Landscaping to anyone a thousand times over!"

"We contacted G&L design for a professional design of our back yard space in Santa Clarita about 2 years ago. Mike worked with us to determine our preferences, gave us two suggested directions, and when we chose one, presented us with a beautiful landscape design that checked every box. Fast forward two years, we were ready to execute on the design and decided to hire G&L to carry out the work. The work was done carefully and well, not a rush job. The workmen were consistently courteous and kept a clean worksite. Now we are looking at our very beautiful new backyard, with spaces for entertaining, gardening, and everything else we wanted. They did not cut corners with the quality of the work. I highly recommend this company! I think they may be a bit pricier than other choices, but you get what you pay for."

"This went very well. He installed drains, sprinklers, and laid down sod for me. I have had him as my gardener for years now and would highly recommend hiring him for yours as well. Him and his team are always hardworking and ensure our lawn is well kept."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Agoura Hills, CA

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.
