"Abel and his team did a great job! They installed a new sprinkler system in my front yard in under a day and did such a good job of restoring the sod that you can barely tell they had to dig it all up. I highly recommend these guys."

"We enjoyed working with Fernando. He was highly recommended to us by family members. He was professional and prompt. He analyzed our existing landscaping for sprinkler needs, proceeded with the work, tested the sprinklers, and cleaned up so well we could not tell work was done. We have already spoken to Fernando about landscaping work in the future. Fernando also worked at my son's house in Lakewood, tearing out existing backyard landscaping, installing new sod and sprinklers, and planting a beautiful tree. We will both use Rainbow Landscaping in the future."

"They took on our small, challenging job that no one else would even quote out for us. The result is amazing and a reflection of the experience and knowledge the owner, Freddie Paz, has at his craft. They even came out during a holiday week so we were able to enjoy the backyard patio over the holidays with our family. I definitely recommend this company."

Customers say: Quick response

"The owner came to our home and took a look around and made some suggestions for our backyard. He was very thorough. We asked him for large plants to go along a brick wall that would provide privacy. He did an amazing job finding the right size of ficus bushes and choosing a lovely ground cover with white flowers. He also planted flowers I bought from Home Depot, and I thought that was very nice. The price was reasonable as well. Friendly and easy to work with."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Corona, 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.
