"Actually I had him install a new sprinkler control box first, then hired him to be my gardener starting October. His education and love for gardening is what sold me."

"first of all William is a great guy and someone I have no problem with hiring again.  woke up this morning to find my front sprinklers on maybe since the timer set in about 2am went to the shutoff valve but it took me forever to get the water turned  off. called William who had worked for me previously we set up a mutual time to have him come over & he was here on time immediately began to access the problem & I left him to his work  upon completion he informed me that the valve installed previously was defective and the issue wasn't my fault & that I owned him nothing I offered to pay his labor charge but he said there was no need it was a follow up & not my problem a lot of vendors would have probably tried to gauge me some more but not William he took responsibility of the issue fixed it & no charge. for that I will always appreciate his service. contact him if you have similar issues he's the best     "

"George emailed me two days beforehand to setup a time. I give him a two hour window that worked for him. He came promptly at 8:30 am, Monday morning, 11/28/16, and left at 12:30 pm. He came inside with his toolbox and started right away on assembling my two small tables. They have been sitting in a box for over one year. George also installed some 3 doorknob sets but needed to make adjustments with the door frames so two doors could close properly. He also installed much needed rack on my bedroom door to hang all my dog leashes and harnesses. The window covering hardware in the Master bedroom was changed out also. He took measurements when needed. He was accurate and did not make unnecessary or incorrectly placed holes in the plaster walls for installation. George does excellent work and is efficient. He is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would definitely hire him for future services."

"Out of the 3 bids we got, the one from Torres was the most reasonable both in cost that time needed to do the job. They did an excellent job!  They arrived right on time as promised.  Confirmed the work to be done and the price we agreed upon.  Then they quickly set up their equipment, put on their safety gear and got right to work.  No messing around, no wasting time talking, just got right down to business.  They were professional, polite and SAFE.  The job was done in less than 2 hours as promised.  When they were done the back yard was spotless and our tree looked great.  
David and his Team are coming back in October to install a tree in our front yard.

"I need this job done on a rush basis. I was aiming for 1 week and they claimed that they can deliver. However, it took them an extra four days.
some problems with this job.
1. Subfloor joist and anchor ( 6 x 2x6 and 4 concrete anchors); Some miscommunication happened here where the plywood floorboard was installed before concrete anchors supports were installed.
2. Whatever you want to call it, I was at the job site every day, and the workers are late. Foreman could not be be found until the last phases. Everyone was confused about the job.
I payed my schedule on time and promptly,

FAQs for sod installation projects in Whitewater, 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.
