Sod Installation & Lawn Renovation

If your lawn is patchy, full of weeds, or beyond saving, sod installation gives you a fresh start with instant results. Instead of waiting months for seed to grow, professional sod creates a lush, green lawn in just a few days. At EagleEye La Mirada Landscaping, we install high-quality sod and renovate tired lawns so you can enjoy a beautiful yard right away.

Sod installation isn't just about laying down grass. It requires proper soil preparation, grading, and careful installation to ensure the sod takes root and thrives. Our team has years of experience installing sod in La Mirada's climate, and we use grass varieties that handle heat, drought, and heavy foot traffic.

How Sod Installation Works

The process starts with removing your old lawn, including any existing grass, weeds, and roots. Next, we grade the soil to ensure proper drainage and a smooth surface. Then we amend the soil with compost and starter fertilizer to give the sod the nutrients it needs to establish strong roots.

Once the soil is ready, we lay fresh sod in a brick pattern to minimize seams and create a seamless look. Each piece is carefully fitted and rolled to ensure good contact with the soil. Finally, we water thoroughly and give you a custom watering schedule based on the season and your specific grass type.

Most installations are completed in one to two days. You can walk on your new lawn lightly after about two weeks, and it will be fully established in four to six weeks. The result is a thick, green lawn that looks like it's been there for years. If you're planning a full landscape makeover, we can coordinate sod installation with other services for a complete transformation.

Best Sod Varieties for La Mirada

Southern California's warm climate means you need grass that can handle heat, drought, and sun exposure. We typically install warm-season grasses like Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia. Bermuda is tough, drought-tolerant, and great for high-traffic areas. St. Augustine has a softer texture and handles shade better. Zoysia is dense, low-maintenance, and stays green longer in cooler months.

We help you choose the right sod based on your yard's sun exposure, how you use your lawn, and your water conservation goals. All the sod we install is fresh from local farms, delivered on the day of installation for maximum freshness and viability. Quality sod makes all the difference in how quickly your lawn establishes and how good it looks long-term.
