Our goal is to provide affordable solutions to modern outdoor living. With over 25 years in business we have been proudly serving Orange County earning awards from the Southern California Spring Garden Show and have been featured on some of HGTV’s highest rated shows! What separates us from our competition is owner Nick Vega, personally oversees every project from start to finish. This means direct communication with you every step of the way to ensure you are fully satisfied with the final outcome of your project. In addition to Nick’s award winning designs, we can help with all aspects of landscape and hardscape. If you’re in need of a design or you just have a small project you want taken care of give us a call!

"I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Nick and his landscaping crew. From start to finish, they were professional, hardworking, and remarkably flexible. What truly set them apart, though, was their willingness to go above and beyond—not just doing the job, but doing it with integrity, pride, and care. Nick, the owner, is one of the calmest, most pleasant professionals I’ve ever worked with. No ego, no drama—just steady communication and a genuine commitment to quality. His team brought the same energy: focused, efficient, and meticulous in everything they did. Beyond the core landscaping project, they also stepped up to repair a leaking water pipe and fix stucco damage—things that weren’t even part of the plan, but they handled them without hesitation. That kind of initiative and accountability is rare in this industry. The quality of the workmanship and the final product were nothing short of amazing. Every detail was executed beautifully, and the end result exceeded all expectations. Without question, this is the best contractor I’ve ever worked with. If you’re looking for someone who treats your home like their own, delivers outstanding results, and stays cool under pressure—Nick is your guy."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Mission Viejo, 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.
