Sod Installation in Orange County

Sod itself is the easy part. What separates a lawn that lasts from one that struggles is everything that happens before the first roll goes down: stripping the old turf, correcting the grade so water drains away from the house, loosening compacted soil, and amending it so roots can push deep. We do that work first, which is why our lawns knit in fast and stay full.

• Removal and haul-off of old lawn and weeds
• Grading and leveling to drain water where it should go
• Rototilling and soil amendment for healthy root depth
• Starter fertilizer, tight seaming, and proper rolling

Not every lawn wants the same grass. A sunny front yard that takes foot traffic, a shaded side yard, and a water-conscious back garden each call for a different variety. We match the sod to your light, your use, and your water goals, whether that is a lush tall fescue, a tough warm-season blend, or a lower-water hybrid.

Installed sod is priced by the square foot, and site prep is the biggest variable. These are directional ranges for premium installed work. Your estimate breaks prep out as its own line so you can see exactly where the money goes:

• Installed sod with basic prep: about $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot
• Old turf removal and haul-off: about $0.75 to $2.00 per square foot
• Grading, leveling, and soil amendment: about $0.50 to $2.00 per square foot
• Typical front or back lawn (1,500 to 3,000 sq ft): about $5,000 to $15,000 all in

A lawn does not live in isolation. Its grade, drainage, irrigation, and edges all connect to the beds, hardscape, and trees around it. When the same studio designs and installs the whole yard, the lawn sits at the right level against the patio, drains toward the right channel, and shares one properly tuned irrigation system.
