Sod Installation & Lawn Renovation

Transform Your Lawn Fast

Sometimes your lawn is beyond repair. Bare patches, persistent weeds, uneven ground, or just years of neglect can leave you with a yard that looks worse every season. You could spend months trying to improve it with seed and patience, or you could have a beautiful new lawn installed in just a day or two with sod.

Sod gives you instant results. One day you have a problem lawn, the next day you have lush green turf that looks like it's been there for years. It's perfect when you're selling your home, hosting an event, or just tired of looking at your struggling yard.

Sod vs Seed: Which is Right for You?

Sod costs more upfront but gives you instant results and can be walked on in just 2-3 weeks. It's the best choice when you need fast results, have slopes that are hard to seed, or want to avoid the erosion and weed issues that come with seeding. Sod also establishes more reliably in our warm Southern California climate.

Seeding costs less but takes several months to establish and requires perfect conditions and constant attention. You'll need to water multiple times daily, keep everyone off the area for weeks, and deal with weeds competing with your grass seedlings. Many homeowners try seeding to save money but end up redoing the work with sod anyway.

For most Inglewood properties, we recommend sod for main lawn areas. We can combine sod with seed for large properties where budget is a concern, installing sod in high-visibility areas and seeding in less-used spaces. We'll help you choose the approach that makes sense for your situation, and coordinate with your irrigation system for best results.

How Sod Installation Works

Successful sod installation starts with proper soil preparation. We remove old grass, weeds, and debris, then grade your yard for proper drainage. We add soil amendments if needed to ensure your new sod has the nutrients and structure it needs to root quickly.

We order fresh sod for delivery the same day we install it. Timing matters because sod starts deteriorating once it's cut. We lay it carefully with tight seams, stagger the joints like bricks, and ensure good contact with the soil. We roll the entire lawn to eliminate air pockets and get roots touching soil.

After installation, we water thoroughly and give you a detailed care schedule for the first few weeks. Your new lawn needs frequent watering initially to establish roots, then we transition to normal watering. With proper care, your sod will be fully rooted and ready for regular use in 2-4 weeks. We can set you up with ongoing lawn maintenance to keep it looking great.
