"Luis and his crew are awesome! He installed beautiful interlocking walla for our neighbor, and we were so impressed with their work that we hired them to prune some Torrey Pines. The trees look great! And the crew did a marvelous job cleaning up the debris! Not a single one needle left on the driveway! Love these guys!"

"CHRIS WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HAD ANSWERS TO ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS. HE RESPONDED TO OUR FOLLOW-UP E-MAILS, AND THE REASON WE CHOSE OMEGA WAS HIS PROFESSIONALISM. OMEGA WAS NOT THE LEAST EXPENSIVE, BUT PRICING WAS FAIR. WE FELT CONFIDENT HIS COMPANY WOULD DO THE BEST JOB. HIS JOB SUPERVISOR, EFREN WAS EXCEPTIONAL AND VERY ACCOMMODATING-------HE MADE SURE ALL THE DETAILS WERE FOLLOWED UP AND COMPLETED. OMEGA INSTALLED OVER 600 SQ FEET OF ARTIFICIAL TURF, WHICH TOOK 2 1/2 DAYS, RESULTED JUST AS WE IMAGINED. LOVE THE TURF. <br />"

"Victor responded right away to repair a leaking pipe in our yard. While on the premises, he took care of a few other minor issues. He was professional, thorough and kind. His fee was fair. I'll be scheduling him to return after the holidays to complete a larger project for us. I highly recommend Victor's company, Grand Oaks Landscaping, Inc for any irrigation or landscaping project!"

"Our front landscape was in desperate need of makeover landscaping. C&H Gardens has trimmed and removed many very large trees for me, over the last 6 years. It was an easy decision to choose Kent and C&H to do our landscaping project. Design was agreed upon and work began in mid-May 2020 and completed as designed in 3 weeks, on time and at cost projection. The professional work crew and design elements that added great visual quality to the street view was more than we expected. Our family and friends agree the work and view was fantastic. We will have an easy choice on our next project for the back yard...C&H is our contractor. Thanks Kent Horner, job well done."

"The people at Evo Turf did a really good job explaining the process and making sure that we we're very comfortable with how things would happen at our house during the process. The install crew was awesome. Everyone had a great attitude and they got the job done way faster than we expected. They even made sure that our dog didn't excape while they were going back and forth while he was in the backyard. The quality of work was first class and we are beyond happy with the overall project. I would recommend Evo Turf 100%!"

"Our new backyard, completed by Rock N Block turned out AMAZING! We haven’t used our backyard for almost 10 years because it was in major need of an upgrade. Brandon came out and helped us design a winner. Entire job was done in 3 days. Great value, and amazing service. Thank you so much!!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Alpine, 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.
