"Francisco was the best. He’s very pleasant to work with and did not mind if I asked him to d some little extra work around the garden. He mainly installed turf grass for me. He’s a hard worker and he cleaned up so good when he was done. I will definitely hire him again for more landscaping designs. "

"Eric is the best! He’s super friendly, highly knowledgeable, and truly listens to his clients. The quality of his work is outstanding and very reasonably priced. Eric contacted me immediately after I posted my project, which I really appreciated. I needed two king palms and their roots removed from my front yard, and Eric and his crew completed the job in just three hours. They did an excellent job and left the area spotless. The professionalism and strong work ethic of the LQ Landscaping crew clearly reflect how well Eric trains his team. I will definitely hire LQ Landscaping for future projects and highly recommend them. 5+ stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"This was the first time i undertook such an extensive project: new concrete driveway, artificial turf install, stucco wall , iron fences and motorized gate, drip irrigation, spotlights, new plantings. All the work was completed on time with utmost professionalism from Yosi and his very capable crews. Everything was upfront and there were never any surprises. Needless to say we are all extremely happy with the beautiful results. I'm already talking to Yosi about my next project!"

"I had Hye Turf Designs place artificial turf in my backyard and decomposed granite on my parkway area. Despite being a relatively small project, Hutch gave me his full attention and was always available for questions and quality control (he came by almost every day). He was extremely helpful, honest and timely. In addition, his crew members were highly competent and friendly. It was a pleasure working with everyone. I can recommend Hye Turf without any reservations. "

FAQs for sod installation projects in Stevenson Ranch, 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.
