"He arrived at 11:30 am in a Lexus sedan--no truck and no chipper--the truck had broken down and was parked at the last job, he said.I had to call him three times to get him here, this morning; he finally answered my calls and came and did a first class job, including tree trimming, some aestetics and clean up. He made a small pile in front of my home for the city to pick up--light work. He brought all of his own tools but borrowed my Green Waste Container to help with the last sweep up, after asking if it was OK. Again, Eddie is a very personable and professional tree trimmer; he's just a little unorganized, so one needs to be proactive in making contact and expressing clearly one's needs. I felt as though his services were very reasonable both for the job and the fact that he came out on a Sunday with short notice--very helpful and accommodating. I would use his services again, as he is both easy going and easy to communicate with. Instead of getting annoyed with life's curve balls, I persisted and chipped in with the clean-up, myself; Eddie was able to finish the job well before our toddler's nap time. Hooray! From his point of view, I'm sure he'll say that clearing the limbs from around my cable and telephone lines was a bonus beyond the SMUD line trimming, but they are parallel, and I felt well within my right to ask for a bit more since he was late. Overall, I was a very satisfied customer."

"Paul and his crew were wonderful to work with on our curvy uphill asphalt driveway. They tore out the old one and put down a new driveway. They worked out a way to control drainage issues when it rained and were willing to accommodate any of my requests with a great attitude and a willingness to do the best possible job. I recommend them highly!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Clarksburg, 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.
