"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."

"Diego and the team are top-notch professionals. Diego is excellent at communicating and very accommodating and aware of all of my concerns. I only wish all contractors were as excellent and these guys. And the work itself was too-notch. My wife commented how much better their mulch install was for our entire back yard than the one we had previously. It was thick and well-leveled. Highly recommend."

"This has been by far the easiest home project we've had done so far. Cipriano came for a consultation within days of my inquiry, discussed the pros and cons of artificial turf vs. sod in our yard (we have aggressive weeds), dropped off some turf samples the next day, and scheduled an installation for the next week. The  work was done with attention to detail - they made sure the underlying ground was level and filled it in with gravel and sand before carefully laying the turf so that there were no gaps at all - even though they were working with a very irregular space. It looks amazing and seems hardy. Best thing we've had done on the house so far (and we've done a lot!). Oh, they also helped me make a pathway through another part of the yard and I don't think they charged me for it! I can highly recommend this company to anyone considering artificial grass, and I'll bet they do a great job of sprinklers and sod as well. <br />"

"Hutch was professional and personable , easy to talk to about my design for front yard. His experience in design suggested minor adjustment of my idea/drawings but willing to landscape any way of my preferences. His contract was thoroughly itemized and didn’t add any additional “surprise” costs. Payments were installments as project progressed. Hardworking Crew stayed on expected timeline. Hutch came by every day to supervise progress of our landscaping. Our front and backyards were transformed from weed fields into beautiful landscaping. Removed weeds and unwanted plants, prepped surface, laid weed barrier and installed Artificial turf in backyard, laid pavers and stone walkway. Transformed front yard into rock riverbed surrounded by plants accented with boulders, and installing drip system. Planted border shrubs and a rose garden. Lined walkway and rose garden with pavers matching our flagstone. Our sewer line needed realignment which Hutch arranged to be repaired. Other company estimate quotes were either vague, didn’t itemize, or way over priced. Offered a few addresses for us to drive by to see his actual work which helped us on our decision to work with Hye Turf Design. I would highly recommend Hye Turf Designs. Thanks Hutch !"

"This went very well. He installed drains, sprinklers, and laid down sod for me. I have had him as my gardener for years now and would highly recommend hiring him for yours as well. Him and his team are always hardworking and ensure our lawn is well kept."

"Eric and his team were at my house within minutes after calling. They replaced and repaired a sprinkler disaster. I was out of town and was feeling very helpless. My family members met Eric at my property and assured me that he was professional and trustworthy. Eric and his team did an excellent job. On a different note, his kindness was immeasurable. He knew our family had suffered a tremendous loss and he went out of his way to demonstrate compassion."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Newhall, 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.
