JPM Landscape
Sod Installers in Carmel
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 23, 2013
“JPM came in and rescued our backyard. Understood our budget limitations and what we wanted and created a backyard paradise that incorporated existing items while adding some new features. Extremely responsive and exceeded all of our expectations while remaining on/under budget. Would endorse Joe and his team in a heartbeat!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 16, 2022
“Eddie and his crew did an excellent job on my landscape project in Hollister. My house is a relatively new build on a smallish lot; it had some builder-installed landscaping in the front and nothing in the back. We did the entire thing--front, back, and side yards. Everything turned out beautifully and now I love being in my backyard. Eddie and his crew were professional, communicative, and got the job done on schedule. I can't recommend them highly enough.”
Premier Landscape, Inc.
Sod Installers in Carmel
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 23, 2024
“I absolutely loved working with Premier Landscape!!! From the first meeting with Lilly - Senior Project Manager Specialist to finalizing the project with Carlos and the crew it all went smoothly. From the HOA process to numerous follow ups my project manager stayed on top of the process. Once I had approval they broke ground with precise attention to detail. I had an all season type of project with some rainy days but the attention to cleanliness did not go unnoticed. They were competitive with pricing and it includes design, permits, labor and insurance. From the start of a new construction home with a blank start a sloped side yard that consisted of a retaining wall paver patio, concrete walkways, fruit trees, many plants and a trip to local nurseries with Lily and lighting to give it the finishing touch we now get to enjoy our beautiful yard with mature fruit trees hand picked for our yard. They are locally owned take pride in their community. All in all they are highly recommended.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 6, 2022
“For the last few months, my wife and I were considering updating our yard. The idea originally was to freshen up the space with some plants and possibly do some hard-scape as well. We spoke to a couple of landscape contractors but truthfully weren't convinced. Sometime went by and a neighbor suggested to contact A&E Landscapes. This neighbor had had work done by them in the past and was very pleased with the workmanship and final product. I contacted them and spoke to a lady by the name of Ana. She was very pleasant and had a number of questions. We ended the call by agreeing to meet so she can have a better understanding of my wife and I ideas of the project. A day or so went by and we met. I was very surprise how Ana made me feel at ease. She was very detailed on her explanation and very resourceful with blue prints, pictures of current and past projects. Fast forward to now and I am happy to say that the vision my wife and I had for our backyard was met above and beyond! I couldn't say enough about this company. Well done, really.”

Bayside Landscape
Sod Installers in Carmel
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 11, 2015
“We hired Rick at Bayside Landscape to complete overall the front of our house. Rick was great to work with, very honest and always responded quickly to any questions via email or phone. His bid was very competitive with the others and never did try to add any extra fees. There where a few extras we needed and Rick never charged us for the extra work. The work was all done on time and we are pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Rick and Bayside Landscape and will be hiring them again for some more landscape work at my home.”
The Landscape Company
Sod Installers in Carmel
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 14, 2017
“With great enthusiasm I applaud the work product created by The Landscape Company, thanks to its owner, Phil Dundas, and his competent crew. My Santa Cruz Gardens front yard was transformed from 1,200 square feet of lifeless turf to a spectacular display of drought resistant plants, providing a variety of texture and color and accented with three new trees. The backyard was renovated with drought tolerant red fescue and perimeter plants as well as mulch. The experienced crew pruned existing fruit trees, created a flagstone pathway, restored a cracked sidewalk, installed a drip irrigation system, reinforced a retaining wall, and corrected an eroded sided yard with a French drain and river rock. I recommend The Landscape Company because of the owner’s prompt response, accurate estimates, flexibility with plant selection and budget, sense of aesthetics, knowledge, practical considerations, and relationship with the landscape community.”

Terra Bella

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 19, 2014
“Rose Bruno from Terra Bella is a creative, responsive and caring landscaping professional. I will use her again for my landscaping needs. I purchased a 20- year old home on 1/3 acre in the Woodside area in 2012 and the first thing I wanted to do was change the outdoor environment. I thought of Rose. I had seen a few of her completed projects in the Monterey area and I knew she would be able to transform our bland and boring exterior into an exciting, inviting and memorable space. Rose designed and built an outdoor kitchen area, flag stone patio and walkways, a serene pond and water feature area and bocce court as well as designing and planting an exotic blend of tropical and Mediterranean plants throughout our yard. Rose came through for us on budget and on time and created the space we dreamed of. I highly recommend her services.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 20, 2016
“We had a wonderful experience working with Carlos. He redid an outdoor kitchen that was built by another contractor that wasn't to code, and was falling apart. Carlos, added an arbor, sink, gadgets burner, access door, lighting, and new stone counter tops. He manages to build the arbor without destroying our Saltillo patio floors. Other contractors wanted to put posts in odd places, and break into the existing patio in a visible location. Carlos is knowledgeable and creative. He also took out our old cracked tiled walkway and put brick. Replaced old lighting and sprinklers.We have come to rely on Carlos for all of our landscaping needs, whether, big or small. He stands by his work. If you have any issues he will address them in a timely manner, and he finishes his work in a timely, clean manner.”

Landscaper FAQs
The duration depends on the lawn size and preparation needs, but most residential projects are completed within 1-2 days. Larger or more complex landscapes requiring significant soil preparation or custom solutions might take longer. Consultation with your installer will provide a more precise timeline based on your specific situation.
Selecting the right type of sod involves considering your local climate, soil type, sun exposure, and water availability. Common types include Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine, and Fescue, each with specific care requirements and benefits. Professional sod installers can provide guidance based on soil testing and local experience, ensuring the sod type matches your environmental conditions and maintenance preferences.
Homeowners should clear the lawn area of debris, furniture, and toys. Marking out sprinkler heads, utility lines, and similar obstacles can prevent damage. Ensuring easy access to the lawn area for large rolls of sod and equipment is also helpful. Discuss with your installer if additional steps like old lawn removal or soil treatment are needed before installation.
Installers use their experience to address challenges such as uneven ground (by leveling and compacting soil), poor soil quality (through amendments or topsoil), shade (selecting shade-tolerant grass types), and drainage issues (installing drainage solutions or grading the lawn). They assess your site-specific challenges during the consultation to plan effective solutions.
Yes, eco-friendly options include selecting drought-tolerant grass types to reduce water usage, opting for organic soil amendments, and choosing local sod farms to decrease transportation emissions. Discussing these preferences with your installer can help identify sustainable practices that align with your environmental values.
After installation, itʼs crucial to follow the watering schedule recommended by your installer, generally involving deep watering to encourage deep root growth. Avoid walking on new sod until itʼs firmly rooted, and begin mowing when it reaches recommended height. A maintenance plan including fertilization, aeration, and overseeding as needed will help your lawn thrive long-term. Consult your sod installer for a personalized care plan.
