"Encore is amazing. The responded to me so quickly. When I finally reached back out, they came to the house for a quote within 48 hours. They were incredibly friendly and upfront. They gave me a quote right then and there. Once I confirmed with them, they started working on the project 3 days later and had it completed in a day. They cleaned up my whole back yard. They were extremely communicative and wanted my feedback on every step. The installed sod. All in one day. Iâ m so glad I found them! I itâ s SO difficult to get quality work done quickly. Iâ d reached out to several other companies and didnâ t even hear back in the time Encore got this done. They will be my goto for all outdoor projects. I cannot recommend them enough!!"

"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."

"Adrian got the work done fast and it turned out really well. He was able to clean up my yard that was a mess, haul out soil, haul in new soil, add a weed barrier, and install the sod in a couple days. He was able to work with the existing sprinkler system."

"We had a fantastic experience with Gonzolo’s B&D Landscaping Inc. team. They transformed our hard-packed yard by digging, enriching the soil, laying beautiful sod, and building a sturdy stone wall around the trees. The result is a lush, peaceful space we love seeing every day. The crew was polite, professional, and respectful—always offering helpful options that fit our budget. They worked quietly, efficiently, and kept everything spotless. We’re already planning the next phase of our backyard oasis with them!"

"

We'd been in our home 25 years and done very little exterior home improvement during that time. We decided we'd reach a point where we wanted to give our home an overhaul to fully enjoy it since our children are now grown.

We met with several contractors but knew we'd met our landscaper in Tom Hollow of 24Kt Green. His relaxed and open demeanor put us immediately at ease. He is exceedingly knowledgeable about his field and clearly has a great deal of passion for his work -which is what convinced us to trust him to transform our yard. 

Tom followed up with us a week after that first meeting with detailed plans for our front and back yards based on what we'd told him we wanted and how much we wished to spend.. His proposal came in close to our budget and included everything we'd asked for and more. He gave us a timeline and estimated a 6-week project from start to finish. 

From there, we literally saw our exterior change from rundown 70s ranch house to contemporary star-of-our-block in six short weeks! Tom's crew showed up every day and worked hard. From demo to drainage installation, cement pouring & stamping, planting beds, ground cover, patio cover, new driveway, stone walkway, outdoor lighting, and scene-stealing, spectacular rock waterfall...  Everything was designed and completed with utmost care and professionalism. Tom was on-site daily, checking in on progress and to answer questions and offer advice. He also met with us off-site several times to assist us in choosing natural stone for our front walkway as well as ledgestone for our front-yard planters and pillars. 

The results??? Well, we are experiencing something for the first time as home-owners and that is having neighbors who walk past our house and stop to compliment how beautiful it looks. We find ourselves doing lots of double-takes too; we still can't believe how great our home looks. We love hearing the water in our waterfall during the day and enjoying a glass of wine around  the firepit at night. Thanks to Tom, our home makes a great impression in the front and provides a functional and beautiful backdrop for entertaining and enjoyment in back.  

Yes, this was a big investment - but well worth every penny we spent!

One last but not insignificant point is that we have a room in our garage that most people don't realize is there from outside the house.  There were many times that we were in that room and could hear Tom talking to his crew - yet he didn't know we could hear him. We were impressed, time and again, by the respectful and patient way he interacted with his employees. We believe how people treat others when no one is looking/listening is a true sign of character, and for that reason we believe Tom's is stellar. It gave us great confidence in his integrity as a person and a professional.  We feel fortunate to have worked with him and to give him our unqualified recommendation to anyone looking for landscape work.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Newbury Park, 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.
