Sod & Lawn Installation in Salinas & Monterey County

Billing depends on what you're booking:

• Maintenance programs are flat-rate monthly, billed in advance.
• Install projects (turf, hardscape, design-build) use milestone billing tied to work completed, with the deposit kept within California's home-improvement limit of 10% of the contract price or $1,000, whichever is less.
• HOA contracts follow your community's preferred billing cadence — monthly or quarterly.

Estimate ranges by service category live on each service page.

Spring and early summer (March–June) book out fastest — if you're targeting a specific deadline (party, listing, HOA inspection), tell us the date when you reach out and we'll work backward from it.

• 1-year workmanship warranty on every install we run.
• Artificial turf: 8-year manufacturer warranty (UV, fiber, backing).
• Hardscape materials: 10–50 years depending on product (pavers, retaining wall blocks).
• Trees and shrubs: 1-year plant-replacement warranty.

Keep the invoice — it's your warranty document. Gallery shows projects we still maintain that are 5+ years old.

Step-by-step:

1. Day 0: A real person reads your request the same day it comes in — not a bot, not tomorrow.
2. Within 24 hours: We reach out to schedule a walkthrough, usually that same week.
3. The walkthrough: 30–45 minutes on-site. We measure, photograph, and ask about timing/budget.
4. Within 48 hours of the visit: Written estimate in your inbox — line items, materials, schedule, total. No surprises.

Start the process from the contact page — most people finish the form in under 90 seconds.
