"Extremely pleased with Vinny and his crew. I had an extensive backyard re-landscaping project, which involved repurposing existing pavers, installing new sprinkler system & sod, and a large casual area with decomposed granite. Vinny took my ideas for a design, made some recommendations, even suggested a few elements which I hadn't considered (picket fence around my vegetable garden & compost areas). After the initial consultation and agreement, I discovered that he also installs golf putting greens, so we added that to our project as well - We're extremely pleased with our new backyard. I'm recommending Vinny to our family and friends."

"I have a small backyard. David called me on Sunday, came gave me and estimate on Monday, and installed on Tuesday. They were friendly and efficient. They arrived about 8:30 in the morning, and were finished by noon. It went from a weedy, muddy space. And when they left, I had a beautiful yard that I want to spend time in."

"We needed to replace a 25-foot section of fence in the back yard and rain was in the forecast. Eusebio (Nacho) Santana and his son came out immediately to provide an estimate and returned the next day, Sunday, to install the fencing. Nacho also installed 2 new water sprinkler timer units for a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Santana Landscaping and would definitely use them again."

"Rick , Brian and their skilled crew recently completed a back garden project for us, along with a few touch ups in the front. We could not have had a better experience. Having worked with several landscape companies over the years, we found Rare Earth Landscape and their crew to exceed our expectations. Rick and Brian worked with us on every step of the project. They were flexible, patient, honest and fair on all aspects of the job. We have nothing but great things to say about all of their team. We highly recommend them, and we will hire them again on future projects. 5+++ stars!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Concord, 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.
