"Adrian got the work done fast and it turned out really well. He was able to clean up my yard that was a mess, haul out soil, haul in new soil, add a weed barrier, and install the sod in a couple days. He was able to work with the existing sprinkler system."

"Looking for a contractor? Look no further! I met with 5 other contractors from Angie's List, but Danny with Goodfellas really stood out. I immediately felt he was a true professional and knowledgeable on the scope of work needed. Thus far, his team has put up new drywall and painted my home throughout. I was fearful that when I would return home from work, I would walk into a complete mess. I was wrong. Not only did they put everything away, they even swept my floors! Major points for that. They will return next week to install my new flooring and I am confident they will turn out beautifully. I will definitely call Goodfellas again for future work at my West Hollywood home. Thanks Danny!

"Initial install went great. Three of the initial plants didn't make it, but Conrad stayed in touch and did replace them as promised. We're happy, the neighbors are happy, and we would definitely call Conrad again."

"The concrete and gate install went relatively quickly. The patio cover required permits which took some time. Once received, the patio went up quick and the planter brick repair was also quick. Overall a good partnership that I will hire again."

"Andriy and his crew were very professional and responsive throughout the process. I

 had changed my mind on a few things and added some others as we were going through the remodel. Andriy was very responsive to all my requests and questions, and did a really good job of communicating throughout. The quality of work seemed spot on and I was very happy with the completed job. The crew was responsible, on time, and cleaned up after themselves. I would definitely recommend using Brigada Builders. "

FAQs for sod installation projects in Hawaiian Gardens, 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.
