"Brad Sayre Landscape Services far exceeded my expectations in every way! For starters, Brad came in with a knowledgeable presence and helpful attitude informing me I had some problematic drainage issues in my backyard. Not only did his team address this and install my irrigation & sod project, they did both for a very reasonable fee. Super professional, very helpful, friendly crew. Customer service far exceeds the numerous other landscapers I had by for a quote who didn't even acknowledge the drainage issue. Have already recommended them to my mom as well as friends and colleagues. A++++ service. Will definitely hire them again with any future landscaping projects (and perhaps monthly maintenance!) Don't bother wasting your time and energy contacting anyone else and just hire Brad Sayre Landscape Services."

"Because installing a new micro-sprinkler system, they took out a section of the lawn and replaced it with plants, and trimmed my trees in the front of the house. They also replaced the old sprinkler system in the back with more efficient water. They helped with suggestions on selection, sprinkler types, and ground cover types. Their hard work shows in the wonderful curb appeal that they created with a more efficient watering system. I am considering having them come back at a later date to work on another part of my lawn and sprinkler system."

"I wanted to transform my backyard and the first step in doing so was to install sod. I had contacted one other landscaper prior to this and it took him 2 weeks to reschedule a consultation and even longer to receive a quote. This did not give me much confidence that the job would be completed relatively soon. That's when I turned to Google and found Angi's list. Vinny responded within less than one hour. I met with him the next day. He provided a quote at the end of our consultation and began prepping the area within one week. He re-framed the area, removed the weeds, added top soil, installed sod, and trimmed the lemon tree all within one week of meeting him. I highly recommend Vinny for all of your landscaping needs. "

"The Mindful Landscape team delivered on their promise to exactly fulfill the plan made for a new lawn and hard scape. Brian was able to hear our wishes and professionally executed each phase of the project. He has a dedicated and hard working team. They are pleasant, work well together, showed up on time and worked a full day. He turned our nightmare of a front yard into a beautiful lawn with wonderful trees in a short period of time. They did tractor work, put in a quality sod, a sprinkler system, trees, and a sidewalk. If Brian says he can do it, he can. He was the right person for us."

"I would very highly recommend Sola de Vega. They removed our old grass and some soil, sprayed the area with an herbicide to prevent unwanted grasses from returning, installed a gopher/mole guard, replaced the sprinkler heads, and installed new topsoil and sod. Saul was very quick to respond to our request for a bid and was very reasonable in his estimate and final costs for the project. I can't speak highly enough to characterize his professionalism, rapid follow-up to our questions and concerns, and great communication and friendly demeanor. The project was completed on time, including installation and clean-up, and the results were beautiful."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Kenwood, 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.
