"I would like to giver V & M an A+++! Veronica and Oscar are fantastic to work with. They went over the plans with us and were very flexible with any changes we wanted to make. The final outcome is just beautiful. They made this whole project so easy. You will be so happy with them. They are very talented and knowledgeable with plants and materials. They also repurposed materials like river rocks from the parking strip to make a beautiful dry riverbed in the old lawn area. New stone facia was placed over the old, tired looking brick. They planted a beautiful variety of plants and 2 trees. The parking strip also came out great! I can't say enough good things about Veronica and Oscar. I am now looking around to see what other projects we can tackle together!!"

"Velasco Landscaping did an amazing job installing pavement at my property! From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and the finished pavement looks fantastic—clean lines, solid craftsmanship, and it’s built to last. They were respectful of the space, cleaned up thoroughly after the job, and completed everything on time. I highly recommend Velasco Landscaping for anyone looking for top-notch paving work and reliable service. Definitely a 5-star experience!"

"I needed an entire makeover in my front yard after our massive 60 year old Modesto Ash tree was removed due to a split trunk. It just did not look very nice without it, which gave us the opportunity to improve on the landscape. I drew up plans of what I wanted and started contacting landscapers for estimates. I decided on Carrillo Landscape which I am happy I did. Oscar (owner) came out and looked at what I wanted, made some good suggestions to improve on my plans and gave me a very reasonable estimate. They did all demo and removed the many roots left from our tree and graded the property flat again. His crew installed new irrigation and drip system and a new sod lawn. I also had them pour new cement walkways on both sides of the house. He even planted two 15 gallon trees and placed all bender boarder and bark chips. It came out beautiful. It took longer than expected, but they stuck to it and finished the job even through the 100 degree heatwave. Everything was done perfectly to my sketch. They really paid attention to the details and stuck to the estimate. The best part was their workers cleaned up at the end of the day above and beyond what I expected. Very fair and reasonable. Great communication as Qscar answered all my questions promptly during the process and took care of any issues. I would highly recommend Carrillo Landscaping."

"Maplewood Landscaping did a commercial landscape install at our daycare facility and we were very happy with the results. Their pricing was honest, and Cesar, the project manager, kept great communication throughout the entire process. The work was completed professionally and on time. We look forward to working with them again on future projects. "

"Absolutely amazing transformation of my yard. My townhouse has a really small backyard but Tyler and his team transformed it from an overgrown mess into a clean and tidy space that I can actually enjoy now. The work was quick, no mess afterwards just a beautiful yard! Thank you!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in San Martin, 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.
