"The outdoor kitchen project had been on our list for years, but we wanted it done right. Way To Go Builders, under Miki's supervision, poured a concrete base, installed paver surfacing, and faced the kitchen island with natural stone veneer. The attention to detail - from the joint alignment to the gas line integration - was remarkable. The finished space fits the architecture perfectly and gives us a true entertaining area, not just a patio."

"My wife and I have hired RainforestLA for four separate landscaping and design projects (turf, fence, concrete, stepping stones, etc.) and are always amazed with the final product. They do amazing quality work that lasts year after year. We could not recommend them more and look forward to hiring them again."

"We hired this company - Hugo is the owner and has been absolutely the easiest person I have ever done any project with. He has an amazing work ethic and does excellent work. I even went so far as to tell him to put his sign in our yard. He not only did sod (after removing all of the cactus and agave from the front yard) he made me planters and then we liked his work so much, we had him do our new brick pathway. Well, one project leads to another and his pathway looked so good, we had him do new brick stairs on the porch as well. Then we added the brick caps on the pillars next to the stairs. We changed our mind a little here and there and he rolled with the changes like they were his idea. It was an amazing collaboration. I will post pics as soon as We seal the brick pathway. We liked him so much that we hired him for our weekly maintenance of the yard, sprinklers and all the plants he installed. Not to mention we added a planter under a planter that was already there but looked terrible next to all of his brick work so now we have him working on that too! I cannot rave enough about all that he has done and the quality of his work. Every single one of his workers we wonderful to work with as well. I wish they had a 5 start plus rating as that is what I would give him!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I would highly, highly recommend Luis and his crew. They installed approx. 50 feet of fencing and 3 wood gates in my backyard. The quality of the work was superb and exceeded my expectations. As the owner of the company, Luis came by daily and was hands on directing his crew along with performing some of the difficult tasks at hand. I spent about three weeks trying to find a fence installer that would provide us with a fair estimate and an initial consultation visit that would make me feel as if I were not being gouged and comfortable with their level of expertise. I scheduled at least 5 previous fence consultations and walked away dissatisfied with all of them until Luis answered my request (immediately by the way) through Angi. Thank you, Luis and Crew - I will have no problems utilizing your services again! Such excellent craftsmanship, impeccable work ethic and a pleasure to work with. Luis' comportment was at all times courteous, kind, and humble which was mirrored by the hardworking gentlemen who work for him. Thank you, Luis - you are a hidden gem and I am so glad we found you!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in El Segundo, 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.
