"Luis from Brothers Landscaping was very flexible and accommodating. He worked with us to find the right plants and trees for our yard, even going with us to the nursery on two afternoons and searching for a healthy mandarin tree on his own for an entire day. His team of workers completed a massive cleanup of our property, installed new drip irrigation sprinklers and new sod, built new backyard steps for us, and planted trees and bushes. They used high quality Tall Fescue grass and redwood mulch. Most importantly, they were kind and friendly throughout the process. They even hauled some of my neighbor’s yard waste for free after she was inspired by our cleanup to do some work in her yard too."

"The people at Evo Turf were great. In fact the entire process was easier than I anticipated. The sales person Chris was informative and brought probably 10 different styles of turf to choose from. The other companies that came to give us bids offered very little selection. Once we decided to go with Evo Turf the process was very smooth. There was good communication with the office and plenty of advance notice as to when the work would take place. The installers were awesome. I must say that Kevin and the other install guys were great! They answered all my questions (probably dumb) and helped me to understand the install process. These guys made it look easy, even though it was a ton of work. All in all, I give Evo Turf a perfect grade. Good customer service, great price and great quality of work. I would choose and recommend them in the future. A+"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Chula Vista, 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.
