Get the lush, green lawn you’ve always wanted — installed in as little as one day. 831 JG Landscaping provides professional sod installation in Hollister, Gilroy, Watsonville, and Morgan Hill with over 15 years of experience.

Why Homeowners choose us
A new lawn transforms your entire property. It boosts curb appeal, increases property value, and gives your family a clean outdoor space to enjoy year-round. But the difference between a lawn that thrives and one that fails comes down to how it’s installed.
At 831 JG Landscaping, we don’t just drop sod on dirt and walk away. Every lawn installation starts with proper soil preparation, grading, and base compaction to ensure your new grass takes root quickly and grows strong. We’ve been laying sod across San Benito County and South County for over 15 years, and our clients see the difference in every square foot.
As a family-owned, licensed and insured sod contractor, we stand behind every installation. Your satisfaction isn’t just a goal — it’s our guarantee.
Our Turf & Sod Installation Services
New Lawn Sod Installation
Whether it’s a brand new construction lot or a bare backyard that needs a fresh start, our new lawn installation service covers everything from soil prep to the final roll. We work with premium sod varieties suited to Hollister’s climate, including Bermuda, Fescue, and Marathon grass, to give you a lawn that looks great and holds up to California’s weather.
Every sod installation includes grading and leveling, topsoil application where needed, precision sod laying with tight seams, and a post-install watering plan so your new lawn establishes quickly.
Lawn Replacement & Renovation
If your existing lawn is patchy, dead, or overrun with weeds, a full lawn replacement is often more effective than trying to revive it. Our lawn replacement service includes removal of the old grass, soil amendment, regrading, and installation of fresh sod — giving you a completely new lawn in just a few days.
We handle everything from small front yards to large backyard renovations. If you’ve been staring at a brown, dead lawn and wondering if it’s worth saving — it’s probably time to start fresh.
Artificial Turf Installation
Looking for a lawn that stays green year-round with zero watering, mowing, or maintenance? Artificial turf installation is one of the fastest-growing services we offer. It’s perfect for homeowners who want a beautiful yard without the ongoing upkeep — and it’s a smart investment in drought-prone California.
We install high-quality synthetic turf that looks and feels like real grass. Our process includes excavation, base preparation with decomposed granite and compacted aggregate, proper drainage installation, and seamless turf laying with infill for a natural look and soft feel underfoot.
Artificial turf is ideal for front yards, backyards, pet areas, play areas, and commercial properties where a low-maintenance green space is a priority.

Excellent work, both landscaping and paving
Very responsive and reasonable price. Needed concrete driveway ramp to be replaced with a wheelchair gradual slope. He knew what I needed. Came at 7:30am with his crew. One to cut concrete with a circular saw, 2 to use sledge hammer, one to use concrete breaker and one a specialist in smoothing concrete. 2.5hrs to break up and remove 20ft x 4ft 4inch concrete, 2hrs to spread concrete and 2hrs to finish and cleanup. My neighbors are interested now.
Jesús and his crew were absolutely amazing. We had a short-notice desire to cover an existing slab with fresh, proper concrete--something other shops wouldn't do. Not only did they grade it for drainage, even better than we could have imagined, but the existing slab wasn't aligned with the house, being a couple degrees off...they went to the trouble to make the new slab square to the house. Really, really happy with their work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Patio & Hardscaping
Here’s what people in Hollister, Gilroy, Morgan Hill & Watsonville often ask us:
How much does landscaping cost?
It depends on the project size and scope. We’ll give you a clear, upfront quote after your consultation.
How long does it take to install sod?
Most residential sod installations take 1–3 days depending on the size of the yard and the amount of prep work needed. Larger properties or yards requiring significant grading and soil amendment may take a few days longer. We provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
Sod vs. seed — which is better?
Sod gives you an instant lawn that’s ready to use in 2–3 weeks, while seeding is cheaper but takes 2–3 months to fully establish and requires much more ongoing care. For most homeowners in Hollister who want immediate results and a reliable outcome, sod is the better investment.
Is artificial turf worth it?
Artificial turf eliminates watering, mowing, and fertilizing costs entirely. In drought-prone California, it can pay for itself in water savings within a few years. It’s especially popular for front yards, pet areas, and commercial properties where a maintenance-free green space is a priority.
When is the best time to lay sod in California?
Spring and early fall are the ideal times to install sod in Central California. The mild temperatures help roots establish quickly without the stress of extreme summer heat. That said, sod can be installed year-round in our climate with proper watering.
How do I care for new sod after installation?
Water your new sod deeply 2–3 times per day for the first two weeks, then gradually reduce to once daily. Avoid walking on it for at least 2 weeks. Wait until the roots are established (about 3 weeks) before the first mow, and cut no more than one-third of the blade height. We provide a detailed care guide with every installation.
