"Recently bought a beautiful old house with a neglected yard. It might once have been okay, but time had taken its toll. Jesse and his team helped me re-sculpt the lawn terrace, add and level the soil, and lay sod. Despite the scale of the work, we were watering the new law that evening."

"Javier and his team did an excellent job on our yard. It was a challenging project requiring the removal of over 45 trees and bushes from an established yard including grinding and removing all the roots and then replacing it all with new landscaping including irrigation and lighting. His price estimate was very competitive. They started and finished on time. Definitely recommend them for all your landscaping needs."

"Our front yard project was completed on 4/01/22. Made an appointment with Javier and discussed our project with him in person. Javier was so personable, honest, and knowledgeable, not only with landscape options, but also with nursery products. He took out our old sprinkler system and replaced it with drip line for our entire yard, Then sod, weed cloth, and 4 1/2 tons of cobblestones which accented our existing hedges and synthetic front lawn. His entire crew were very hard working, friendly, and dedicated to finish our project to perfection. We met Javier's wife who dropped off some materials, and she was so friendly, just like Javier. We would rate Javier and his entire crew with ten stars!!! If you want an honest, dedicated landscape company, with excellent professional results, All Exclusive Custom Landscapes should be your choice. My wife and I are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of our project and strongly recommend this company. Thank you Javier and crew."

"We recently put in HavenHub’s turf in our backyard, and it’s been fantastic! First, the turf feels incredibly soft under our feet—like walking on a cozy carpet. Our kids love playing on it, and even our dog enjoys lying on it. It’s really comfortable and perfect for outdoor fun. The installation was a breeze. The instructions were easy to follow, and we were able to get it all set up quickly. It fit perfectly and looks great! Highly recommend it if you want to improve your outdoor space!"

"Excellent. Hector Leon was thorough in assessing irrigation problems and devising a plan to meet my needs. He offered various options for the layout, plants and rocks to be used. He & his crew were especially diligent in ensuring clean up each day and they were always available to answer any questions about the process. My yard is beautiful and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. The cost for this project was also very reasonable. I highly recommend this company for your landscape needs."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Fresno, 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.
