McGuire Earth Works has been helping Sacramento-area homeowners enjoy beautiful lawns for over 40 years. Our licensed, insured team handles every step—grading, irrigation, sod installation, and cleanup—with precision and care.
We show up on time, protect your property, and communicate clearly. Whether you’re replacing dead grass or installing a brand-new yard, we’ll walk you through each step and leave you with a lawn you’ll love.
We assess your lawn’s size, condition, and irrigation system to determine the best sod type and installation plan.
We provide a clear, detailed proposal—covering prep, materials, and labor—with zero surprises.
Our crew handles grading, prep, sod delivery, and expert installation in just a few days. We’ll walk you through care instructions so your new lawn thrives.
We assess soil condition, sun exposure, drainage, and slope to ensure your sod has the right environment to thrive. Then we clear existing vegetation, weeds, or old turf to prepare the surface.
Our team professionally grades the soil to improve drainage and prevent pooling. We add nutrient-rich soil amendments, compost, or sand as needed for root development and long-term health.
Proper watering is key to sod success. We inspect existing irrigation or install a new, efficient sprinkler system to deliver even coverage and minimize runoff.
We source fresh-cut sod like tall fescue or blue grass blends, based on your yard’s needs, sun exposure, and lifestyle. Delivery is scheduled for same-day installation to maintain freshness.
Our crew lays the sod in a staggered pattern with tight seams, rolling each section for strong root contact. We trim edges around pathways, beds, and hardscape features for a clean, finished look.
Once installation is complete, we walk you through the lawn and provide personalized maintenance tips for mowing, watering, and fertilizing. We also recommend trusted partners for lawn care if needed.
We install sod year-round, but spring and early fall are ideal due to moderate temperatures and natural moisture. These conditions help new sod root quickly and reduce stress.
In most cases, sod begins to root within 7–10 days and establishes fully in 3–6 weeks with proper watering and care. We provide a watering schedule to guide you through the process.
We install a variety of turfgrass options including tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, Bermuda, and blends. We’ll recommend the best fit based on sun, usage, and soil.
No need! We handle every step of site prep, including removing old grass, leveling the soil, and amending it if needed. Just make sure the area is accessible and pets are secured.
New sod needs consistent moisture for the first few weeks. Avoid foot traffic, follow the watering schedule we provide, and don’t mow until your lawn has rooted, about two weeks. We explain your full care instruction after installation.

We install lush, green sod lawns across Orangevale, Roseville, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Fair Oaks, Granite Bay, and nearby cities.
