"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."

"gardener after gardener... the yard always looks the same, sort of crappy. Grass dies, we say fix sprinklers, they say ok, they don't. Grass dies, we sod, sod dies. This has been the pattern for years. Until now. Alejandro came, assessed and ACTUALLY fixed sprinklers, replaced others, turned others off and within TWO weeks I have THE most lucious grass in the neighborhood. The transformation is amazing. And they asked for about the same as my previous gardener. They were a little more but... we now realize so worth it! Kept them for monthy maintenance. Thank you Ivory coast

"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.

"Few months ago, we hired Eli at SES builders to do a major renovation at our house that included the kitchen, bathrooms, installation of new wood floor for the entire house on top of energy efficient double glass windows and all the doors (inside and out). We were very happy with the whole process of the work from the design stage all the way to the completion of the work. All the materials and finish products were selected by the help of Eli and he made sure always that everything will be delivered on time so the project will not get any delays. Eli is by far the most perfectionist when it comes to his work and his results are always at the highest quality. We are so happy that we hired him for our house and our next plan is to hire him again for our next remodeling of our backyard and front yard!"

"My husband and I are thrilled with our kitchen designed by Ran at Goodfellas. Not only is the finished product exactly what we hoped for, the customer service delivered by the team was amazing. Ran listened to our ideas for the kitchen and came up with a great design that is functional and looks so pleasing. He was super patient as we made small tweaks to the design until it was just as we wanted it. When it came time to install, Ran and his crew did an above and beyond job working with our uneven floors and ceiling. Working on the smallest details to get them just right, and all with a smile! The price is great especially for the high quality of cabinets and service. We went with custom paint colors and they did such a great job. I would highly encourage anyone getting a new kitchen to go with them. Ask for Ran!"

"Our outdoor barbeque/kitchen in the pool area was just done by Best Builders Group who was referred to us by a co-worker who hired them for his last remodeling project at his house and he was very happy with everything they did. Our remodeling project was a large scale remodeling project to our opinion BUT to Best Builders Group it was a normal size project and they provided all the required attention to detail and great working capabilities. We had some concerns on the plumbing & electrical but Zohar took care of all of them in a very professional manner. Part of the work was to build a custom fire pit and Zohar was always nice enough to do whatever we asked. All the workers on the other hand… always made sure to clean up & they never left the house without the cleaning task. The installations was done perfectly, professionally, clean and with perfection. This remodeling project came out to be such a wonderful entertaining spot of the house and I strongly recommend them."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Ojai, 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.
