"Authentic Landscape installed an automatic sprinkler system based loosely on a design we had developed. Authentic Landscape reviewed the design and came up with key improvements in the original design. Salvador, the owner, was respectful of our goals and installed a system that fit our large backyard. He was careful not to mangle existing shrubs during the trrenching. The system was installed successfully. Salvador returned after the piping, valving, rotors and timer was installed and made modifications to improve the original system configuration. I would retain them again for another project"

"These guys are awesome. Had a gravel driveway for riding lawnmower installed and decorative rock in the rest of the area. Theses guys show up when they say they will, work hard and clean up after themselves. They are professional and very skilled at what they do. They also helped me repair an area of my drip system without extra charge. Will use these people for the rest of our projects including re-sodding our large yard which will be done in the spring. Highly recommend these guys. Prices were reasonable also."

"I would highly recommend Forever-Green Cali. They are very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about their profession. After an initial consultation with the owner, John, who provided recommendations based on my vision for my front yard. He made great suggestions that I would never have thought of, which made my yard beautiful and efficient with rocks that I love."

"Our experience with Capital City Landscape Development was the best experience we have ever had with a contractor. We needed a major redo on our small backyard that that borders a preserve. Mark helped us with a designer to clarify our vision. He was patient as we carefully made decisions on our materials. We wanted to include bird feeder stations, and Mark hooked us up with a metal fabricator to build exactly what we imagined. He installed a high pressure misting system for relief from the summer heat. His work was artistic, his charges were reasonable, and his billings were clearly itemized."

Customers say: True professional

"We couldn't be happier. Jamie and his crew were outstanding. They removed old turf, rototilled in compost, installed a new sprinkler system and an underground drain and then installed Bolero sod. They showed up every day and worked nonstop until the job was completed. Jaime's attention to detail is amazing."

"The job was done very fast after the quote. I feel I can sleep now when winter comes without worrying about the patio flooding. Old patio was removed and a new one put in. They installed drains so water won't be filling up the patio. Great job done by Carlos and crew and a great price with a senior discount. Thank you Ray!"

"They did a good job of maintaining the yard and renewing the bark (extra cost) in the first few months.  The lawn continued to look bad and Jose said they would address the lawn the beginning of spring.  In the mean time, the mowers used a sit-down mower on the lawn after a good rain and created ruts in the lawn.  In February they applied seed to the lawn with no preparation and since the lawn is on a slope, we found most of the seed in the gutter or lining the sidewalk near the bottom of the lawn.  By June, most of the lawn was green weeds and very little grass.  Jose accused my renters of not watering the lawn, in which case, everything would have been brown and dying.  The renter was watering 3 times a week in the early AM.   Jose did admit he had not seen the property for several months."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Mather, 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.
