"My house always have an electric bill issue with the AC going all summer long and everything we used today being electronic. This issue caused me to start and look for a company that can lower my bills by installing a solar panel system or any other type of a solution. Since switching to nuclear power was frowned upon by my neighbors and the federal government, I decided solar panels would be worth a try. After looking and researching on several companies, I decided to meet and talk to the representative from Landmark construction and energy crew. Ezra and his staff over at Landmark Construction were great. Ezra walked me through the whole process and he was completely honest and accurate with the pricing and time schedule. The system that he recommended me was a 3.1 kW system with panels on the roof of the house. He had the time to tell me how will it go and what will be the final results after the system will be fully installed and working. I have a past experience work in the construction industry and I know competence and good workmanship, these guys know what they are doing and do it well. I was very satisfied with the work and with the system that they installed at my house. My utilities bills came down as Ezra said they will. I would recommend them to anyone considering solar power."

"I had 5 vendors bid the job and they were the lowest cost, I did not feel I was being pressured to buy anything I did not want. They developed the plans and worked with the City to get the permit. Contacted me well ahead of time to setup an install date. They were there right on time, worked the whole time completing the project on time with no problem.

Did all the foot work with PG&E to get the meter turned on. and once everything was completed walked me through the monitoring program and provided a simulated PG*E bill and explained what the billing would look like. They provided the stamped plans, permit card and all the warranties that support the equipment install.

"Artificial turf looks good. Some of the plants have died. It's only been five months since the job was completed. All the other items are of fair to poor quality. Concrete areas have to be re-done by another company because it has cracked within days to weeks of it being placed. Concrete splashed on retaining wall which was never removed/cleaned by Andres. Paint on fencing chips away easily. He said he would remove the splashed concrete off the wall but never returned to finish the job. As I stated earlier, I have to pay $3K+ to have the concrete done again. Haven't gone through an entire rain season so still don't know how the drainage system works or not. Would never hire him again."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Artois, 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.
