Since discovering the potential of synthetic turf in 2006, we’ve been committed to transforming outdoor spaces into clean, modern, and low-maintenance environments. Our company is rooted in three pillars: product expertise, top-tier customer service, and fair competitive pricing. That’s what’s made us one of the fastest-growing landscape providers in San Diego, Riverside, and Orange Counties.

From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, we’re here with honest advice, prompt communication, and a focus on long-term satisfaction. Considering making the switch to synthetic turf? No more mowing, watering, seeding, or chemicals. Say goodbye to bugs, allergies, pet urine spots, and brown patches, and hello to a green, beautiful yard that looks great every day of the year.

"Stay away from this company and affiliated businesses like Daley Masonry! Michael Mulder influence's he's affiliated partners to act unethical and lack integrity on delivering good craftsmanship. The owner Michael Mulder doesn’t care about your property and will damage it from his own work and charge you for fixing it. He will try to foreclose on your home and sue you on top of it! Michael will not take responsibility or even give you an apology when his work is improper and delivers poor craftsmanship. He destroyed my backyard by one of the biggest walls collapsing on site. 8 months later and he still refuses to fix it even though it is under warranty. Michael Mulder is unethical, unprofessional & shady. He want us to pay for his unauthorized and unsigned charges before he does any warranty work. It feels like extortion and fraud! We gave him multiple attempts to fix the issues and 8 months later he refused to fix it. He withheld general liability insurance for over 6 months and he abandoned the job site. He breached his duties, warranty, & contract. Before you hire a landscape company make sure you ask upfront for the General Liability information & Professional Liability Policy(E&O) otherwise the insurance won’t cover all the damages for defected work or poor craftsmanship. If they don’t have professional liability you demand they get one before any work is started. This guy has very low standards and greedy. He will try to take advantage of you to squeeze more money out of you for deceptive charges. Trust me stay away! He has a fake personality and unethical tendencies. Call me if you questions or concerns about this company or owner. 858-539-6232"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Indio, 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.
