"Recently bought a beautiful old house with a neglected yard. It might once have been okay, but time had taken its toll. Jesse and his team helped me re-sculpt the lawn terrace, add and level the soil, and lay sod. Despite the scale of the work, we were watering the new law that evening."

"I was very pleased with Mountain Ridge and the work they got done on our property. Not only is it a blessing to interact with Jeremaia, but he brings a good and positive attitude along with very hard work. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of tree work/ brushing Mountain ridge was able to get done in a short period of time. I will certainly use them again. If you want to hire someone who is hard working, respectful and trustworthy, I would recommend Mountain ridge."

We are a brothers-in-arms junk removal team based right here in Sacramento, CA.

Together, we’ve built a small, tight-knit operation that focuses on what matters most — treating every customer like family and every job like it’s our own.\nWhether it’s a full garage cleanout, hauling away old furniture, clearing yard waste, or just needing some extra labor help, we show up fast and work hard. Same-day service is our specialty, and we proudly stand behind our Price Match Guarantee — if you have a lower written quote, we’ll beat it.

"J&H did the installation of the backyard landscape for us. It turned out great, we are pleased with the result. The job went a little slower than I wouldâ ve liked, but they kept showing up and working away, and it worked out in the end. We had J&H do grading, irrigation, concrete, a retaining wall, trees and sod. I like the quality of the materials they have used. The cons: concrete took too long apparently due to the limited availability of the concrete and the concrete crew. Pros: Hector presented a straightforward quote (all details in writing), which included a payment schedule consisting of progress payments for the project, we kept seeing results as we made incremental payments, and the crew was getting paid as they completed the work as promised."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Choosing between sod and seed depends on your budget, timeline, and maintenance preferences.

Sod:

  • Pros: Provides an instant, lush lawn and immediate curb appeal. It's more resistant to weeds and erosion, can be installed any time during the growing season, and offers a consistent appearance.

  • Cons: Has a higher upfront cost, typically $0.90 to $1.80 more per square foot than seed. It offers fewer grass varieties and must be installed immediately upon delivery.

Seed:

  • Pros: Less expensive upfront, making it a budget-friendly option. It offers a wider variety of grass types and is easier for a DIY installation.

  • Cons: Takes much longer to establish, potentially up to two years for a full lawn. It requires more maintenance, including regular weed control, and is more difficult to cultivate.

Ultimately, if you want a beautiful lawn quickly and have a larger budget, sod is an excellent choice. If you are patient, want to save money, and prefer a wider selection of grass types, seeding may be the better option.

Fast-track your seeds to success by pre-soaking them for 24 hours in a shallow container filled with tap water. The water will penetrate the husk and moisten the embryos inside. After one day of soaking, sow the seeds in the soil. Never soak the seeds for more than one day (unless the specific variety calls for longer), as prolonged soaking could cause them to rot.

Yes, some grass will germinate in two weeks or less but it will take several weeks more before it is established enough to walk (or nap) on. To grow grass quickly, follow the tried-and-true-steps carefully, starting with choosing a cool- or warm-season grass seed that flourishes in your home’s climate.

When stored under ideal conditions, grass seed lasts anywhere from 10 to 18 months from the testing date without any real decrease in the germination rate. You can still use the seeds after this timeframe, but the germination rates drop 10% to 20% each year. 

If you’re just embarking on an overseeding project, using seeds that have been in storage for a few years isn’t too big of a deal. However, if you’re planning on redoing your entire landscape, your best bet for a healthy, luscious lawn is to use new seeds.

It costs $1,500 on average to hydroseed a 1/2-acre lawn professionally. DIY hydroseeding costs about $300 to $500 for the machine rental, plus the cost of your seed, mulch, and fertilizer. Often, it makes sense to hire a local lawn seeding service to hydroseed for you to ensure the best coverage and growth.
