Sod Installation FAQs

How long does sod installation take?

Most residential yards take 1–2 days to complete, depending on size and prep work needed. Soil grading, old lawn removal, and irrigation adjustments may add time. We give you a clear timeline before we start.

What type of sod do you install?

We primarily install Bermuda grass and tall fescue sod — the two varieties best suited for Central Valley heat and alkaline soil. We help you choose based on your yard's sun exposure, foot traffic, and aesthetic preference.

How do I care for new sod?

New sod needs heavy watering for the first 2 weeks — 2 to 3 times daily to keep the soil moist. After roots establish (about 3 weeks), gradually reduce to your normal schedule. We provide detailed care instructions with every installation and are always a phone call away.

Can you install sod at new construction homes?

Absolutely — this is one of our specialties. We handle the full process: grading, soil amendments, irrigation installation, and sod laying. Many new homes in Kerman, Fresno, and Clovis come with bare dirt yards, and we transform them into finished landscapes.

How much does sod installation cost?

Cost depends on yard size, soil prep required, and sod variety. We provide free in-person estimates so you know exactly what to expect. Call us at (559) 809-1230 to schedule yours.
