"We decided to install an outdoor kitchen and needed a solid base. The crew created a large concrete slab that measured around 400 sq. ft. They first excavated, installed a compacted gravel base, and added rebar before framing everything out. Drainage slope was included so water doesn't pool, and they ensured utilities could run through conduit before the pour. The slab was finished with a smooth surface since it will later be tiled. Permits were pulled in advance, and city inspectors signed off at every stage. The process took a few weeks, and the space is now ready for the kitchen installation. The precision in layout and attention to detail stood out to me. It feels like we've got a reliable foundation for years of outdoor use."

"Del Mar Landscaping has done various landscaping and construction jobs for us over the years, and we are always impressed by the results and so are our neighbors. Del Mar is understandably very busy but once they get started, they stay on site until the job is done. We highly recommend them."

"Really great experience with Jose and his whole crew. He brought a full team (8 guys the first day and 4 the second day) to install landscape drains around my home as well as connect all of the gutter downspouts into a central line. Finished product looks very professional and they left the job site very clean. Will use them in the future for other landscape projects. Price was reasonable and in line with other quotes, he won the job because of prior reviews like this, his ability to get the project done quickly before the holidays and because his drainage solution seemed like the best one given it would take the water away from the house."

"This was a very large project .The backyard was cleanup of 10 years of declining gardening and debris involving grading, resloping and placing degraded granite. Then there was the new design and installation of an irrigation system to support the new landscaping and sod installation in another part of the backyard. In the front we widened the driveway which involved root hacking, digging, laying re-bar and pouring and finishing down the new concrete. Yosef and his crew were responsive,capable and courteous. We felt the fee was very reasonable for such hard work. We are very pleased with the results."

"Dee is fantastic! We loved the design Mike came up with for our backyard makeover. Then once construction started we realized we had made choices that needed to be changed. In every case Dee's suggestions (stucco the walls instead of paint, don't use DG next to the pool, run wood fence topper horizontally) turned out to the best. We are so glad we listened to him. Our finished backyard looks like an art installation but one where you can feel comfortable and at home. Now a year later we had them come back for a few tweaks and again Dee's suggestions were the right ones. We are happy we choose G & L and plan to use them again next year when we tackle our front yard."

"From start to finish, Motti and Rand of Green Republic Landscapes conducted themselves like true professionals. I asked them to design a yard that would be maintenance-free, drought-tolerant and conform to the turf removal rebate rules. They turned my dull, grass-filled yard into a beautiful, usable yard. They handled everything, from the removal of the grass to conditioning the soil to reinforcing the existing fence. In addition, they installed a paver patio and pathway and DG and gravel throughout the rest of the yard. Now I have a great space for relaxing and entertaining. I couldn't be happier. I would recommend Green Republic Landscapes to anyone."

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 Marina Del Rey, 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.
