"My extensive project entailed new sod, irrigation, plantings and rock in the front yard. In the back yard, demo of a small patio, and pouring of a huge decorative concrete surface, plus new sod and irrigation. I plan to hire Alex next year to revamp the flower beds in the back as that piece had to wait. Alex and his team were absolutely outstanding. Attention to detail, such as the drainage system, and overall expertise resulted in a complete transformation. Pricing was competitive. Alex was very pleasant to work with. He listens and offers professional guidance. I highly recommend Hermanos Flores Gardening."

"I would highly recommend Forever-Green Cali. They are very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about their profession. After an initial consultation with the owner, John, who provided recommendations based on my vision for my front yard. He made great suggestions that I would never have thought of, which made my yard beautiful and efficient with rocks that I love."

"In all areas of the work he did for me (replacing an old lawn with new sod and repairing two sprinkler problems). I have decided to hire his on a yearly basis to fertilize my lawns 3x a year and to aerate them 2x a year......"

"The job was done very fast after the quote. I feel I can sleep now when winter comes without worrying about the patio flooding. Old patio was removed and a new one put in. They installed drains so water won't be filling up the patio. Great job done by Carlos and crew and a great price with a senior discount. Thank you Ray!"

"Suzy is amazing. My partner hired her to landscape our front yard (install sod, weedcover and mulch border beds etc.), as a surprise Birthday present. He's not the best planner so it was like a weeks notice, but she showed up right away, and actually got it done with days left to spare. She's an incredibly hard worker and went above and beyond. Due to a poor electrical outlet situation she ended up having to weed the yard by hand and had it done before I could get home to help fix the problem. My neighbor who saw her working commented to me later that she got tired just watching how fast and hard she worked. She even put out my yard waste bins before I could on pick up day. Is been over a month later and I still constantly stop on my way into the house and appreciate how great it looks now. Thank you Suzy! I will definitely be using you again for any future projects."

"Babylon Gardens has been a fantastic company for our large backyard project and we're very pleased with what they accomplished in the last couple months. Professional, responsive and high quality work. Definitely recommend them to others and I'll use them again in the future. The owner Ron is a pleasure to deal with and their field lead Juan is awesome."

FAQs for sod installation projects in West Sacramento, 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.
