Glenn Plattner says, "Scapezone and its owner Fredy were hired by the main contractor to perform certain work in what prior to their involvement had been a fairly unpleasant experience building a retaining wall. Fredy and his crew did great work, always in a timely manner, so we retained Scapezone to handle the full landscaping project that was needed once the retaining wall had been completed. Fredy helped design the project based on our desires and always provided both suggestions and different options at each phase of the project. The pricing was reasonable and always explained in advance----and except for agreed upon upgrades, Fredy stuck with the pricing, even if at times some extra unanticipated work was required. Fredy visited the project at least once a week and was available at other times by text----I rarely had to wait more than a few minutes for a response. Everything was completed when promised---except for brief delays if it rained and work had to be halted. The crew was always on time, worked hard and seemed to very much care about completing everything to our satisfaction. An A+++++ experience."See more

He used high quality pipes to build the drainage, he took his time to make sure the pipes are properly laid to drain the water. He also repaired all the sprinklers that were broken. He did all the work in a timely manner and reasonable price.I am very happy with his work."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Whether you rototill before laying sod depends on your preference, but your ground needs to be prepared for the sod to take root in the soil. A rototiller makes it easy to till up compacted earth so that new sod can easily take hold, but there are other methods you can do. Consult with a sodding professional to discuss which preparation steps should take place before laying sod.

Landscapers and sod installation specialists can lay sod. When choosing a professional to lay sod in your yard, read their ratings and reviews from customers. Also, search for photos that showcase actual work done by the pro. And always get cost estimates from several sodding professionals so you can get an idea of how much you should pay for their services.

Sod can be laid any time of the year, though the best time to do so is in the spring or early fall. During this time, temperatures are cooler but grass is still growing.

Summer isn’t ideal for laying sod (but still possible), as the high temperatures demand extra watering that can not only drive up your water bill. It can also make conditions ideal for mold and fungi.

There are differing opinions about this topic, which is why you should talk to a sodding professional near you to find out if it’s possible to lay sod over your particular lawn. In some cases, it might be possible. For example, some professionals say the new sod will kill the existing grass underneath and release nutrients that will benefit the new sod.

However, others believe the old grass will disrupt the sod's ability to take root in the soil, and it will die due to a lack of nutrients.

The national average cost to install sod is around $2,235 and prices typically range from $1,311-$3,808*, according to Thumbtack data. The type of sod you choose, your lawn size, and many other factors can impact how much you'll pay for sodding services.

Reviews for Pasadena sodding professionals on Thumbtack

From Stella L.

Unfortunately I must revoke this review. Hilario's team covered all of the sprinklers with gopher wire causing the sod to not recieve proper watering and it died. His team has not been responsive about repair. If his team does come back to remediate perhaps I will re-evauate but at this point I am extremely disappointed as the yard currently looks worse than before his team arrived.
