"Jason planted color throughout our backyard and added bark in all our gardens. We were so happy with the sod replacement he ands great crew did, that we asked him back to help with this new project. Once again, they did an excellent job. They removed all the old soil and bark. Replanted beautiful red and white flowers and put bark throughout the whole backyard.

Our goal is to provide affordable solutions to modern outdoor living. With over 25 years in business we have been proudly serving Orange County earning awards from the Southern California Spring Garden Show and have been featured on some of HGTV’s highest rated shows! What separates us from our competition is owner Nick Vega, personally oversees every project from start to finish. This means direct communication with you every step of the way to ensure you are fully satisfied with the final outcome of your project. In addition to Nick’s award winning designs, we can help with all aspects of landscape and hardscape. If you’re in need of a design or you just have a small project you want taken care of give us a call!

"Nick was outstanding from my first contact to the end of the project. He gave me a quote for the front and back of my mom's house, which included adding sprinklers and landscaping. The backyard was a complete disaster, and the front looked only slightly better. Just when they were about to start, it started raining, which Nick took advantage of and seeded the front lawn. Once the rain cleared, the real work started. The workman came every day on time and always prepared. They always cleaned up the site before leaving. The project took about 2 weeks and turned out great. Nick even came back when we discovered a gopher had relocated to the backyard. I waited to write this review to ensure I was as pleased with the work today as when I contracted with Vega Landscape. I'm totally happy. The best part was feeling like I got what I paid for without upselling. Nick has integrity and is honest. I would 100% recommend him for future jobs!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Aliso Viejo, 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.
