"We hired Hector and his crew to make a path around the side of our house, add a retaining wall, level the yard, and put in new sod with an extension on our sprinkler system. It turned out great! They worked through the rain and kept in close communication with us as questions came up. We would absolutely use them again."

"Very happy with the performance of Babylon Gardens. Good communication throughout, and a first class crew performed the work. I met with Rony and after a little back and forth on the project scope was able to schedule the work. Originally planned for 5 days, Rony's foreman and his team completed the work in 3 days (there had been a weather delay and they were as interested in getting the work done on time as I was)! Rony's foreman Juan knew his stuff, and truly went the extra mile, including performing some extra work which Rony covered under the original quote - greatly appreciated! Specifically, when Rony and I walked the job, we had agreed that rather than installing extra drainage, Rony would ensure the crew graded the slope down to the existing drain. Juan determined that was not the right way to do it, and installed a new drain in an ideal location. He also laid down some pavers which was outside the scope. It was just a few, to create a little accent where there would have been a dirt void between my side yard where a concrete walk was laid, and the sod that was installed in the back yard. Again, Juan did this, and even though it wasn't a lot of extra work, it was above and beyond the scope, but illustrates to me that the company and this crew is more interested in customer satisfaction and exemplary work than just the money. I will definitely call Rony the next time I need work done!"

"Hired this business to do a complete overhaul on our backyard. We had them install a sprinkler system, sod, boarders, gravel, rock, a retaining wall, privacy tress, flowers, shrubby, level everything out, and even had them fix a gate and one side of our fence. They turned a hideous dirt backyard into a gorgeous paradise. The owner is a super hard worker and won't stop until the job is done. Highly recommend."

"Derek and his crew completely removed and replaced old wooden fence which was falling apart and were able to remove it and replace the old concrete and posts in the first day.  This was all done while the area they were working in was horribly muddy from the recent rains and fitting in the work between storms.  The soil where the fence is located resembled old river bottom so there was a ton of hard packed clay and rocks and it is like digging in cement when its dry.  Not easy work compounded by a narrow space between the houses so it is pretty much hand work.  After the concrete was hard enough to support the weight, they built out new a fence that is much sturdier and looks much nicer than the one it replaced.  I?ve already had several comments from different neighbors about their work and at least one wanted their contact information.  Derek and his crew were fast and professional and I won?t hesitate to contact him again for other projects.  Very pleased with the quality work and the finished product both he and his crew provided.

"Cruz is extremely easy to work with and very patient!! He has completed two yard re-do's for me so far and has just started a third. His first job that he did for me was to remove old sod in the back yard and then before he put new sod down he put in curbing to help separate the flowerbed from the lawn area. Looks great!! Second project was a little more challenging as the ground had different levels. The old sod was on a slope and I wasn't sure what to do with that. Cruz brought in some different products to give me ideas on what I might want. We settled on railroad ties in part of the sloped area and large landscape stones for the rest. For the level area he installed over 70- 16 X 16 red stepping stones in a diamond pattern with gravel in-between. That really set off the front area and every time I look at it I am even more pleased with the job he did. He also added some curbing to separate a small flowerbed area from a section of lawn. He has just started on his third project for me and also the largest. First he is removing all the old sod. When he is finished with that I hope to have one section done in a cement slab for a small patio. I also want him to do some curbing to separate areas that I want sodded and non-sodded. Hopefully this project will turn out as nice as the rest of the work that he has done for me. His main goals have always been to have the projects come out to "MY" liking. "Thank You Cruz for all your hard work"...JanB"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Paradise, 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.
