A broken sprinkler head, a timer that won’t behave, a dry patch you can’t explain. Text us a few photos and we’ll talk you through it. If it’s something you can fix yourself, we’ll tell you how. Plenty of our customers first met us that way.
Sound familiar?
Most yard trouble in Los Angeles traces back to the same few causes: hard, depleted soil, sprinklers that don’t cover evenly and quick fixes that never addressed either one.
Usually: compacted clay soil. Roots can’t go deeper than an inch or two. What we do: break it up 6–8″ deep and work in real compost so roots have somewhere to grow.
Usually: uneven sprinkler coverage, a leaking valve or the wrong heads on a zone. What we do: repair or redesign the zones so water goes where the plants are.
Usually: old roots left in the ground. What we do: remove the old lawn and weeds by hand and machine, clear the roots, then rebuild from fresh soil.
Usually: sod laid on unprepared ground. What we do: the prep work others skip — because that’s what decides whether a lawn survives.
We’re the hands-on crew that builds it. We don’t sell designs — we turn your plan, or your designer’s plan, into a finished yard.
Create a bid online and get an itemized estimate — every line explained, no vague lump sums. Sod can even be bought straight from the supplier, without our markup.
How we can help
We focus on the work that makes the biggest difference to how a yard looks and how long it stays that way.
Why our lawns last
Anyone can roll out sod. The difference between a lawn that thrives for years and one that’s brown by next summer is the work you can’t see once it’s done. Here’s exactly what we do on a new lawn — nothing skipped:
We use composted horse manure as our main soil amendment — far more of it than most crews bother with — so your lawn is fed naturally for seasons, instead of relying on a few handfuls of chemical fertilizer.
Including the roots, so they don’t come back through your new lawn.
With a pick axe first, so the tiller can reach real depth.
Loosens and aerates compacted LA soil.
Real organic matter, not a light dusting.
Compost mixed through the whole root zone, where it does the work.
Before the lawn goes down, while everything is still accessible.
Then we tell you exactly how to water it for the first weeks.

What homeowners say
In less than one year I went through two lawns in my backyard at our new house. I just thought the sun was killing it. After a while I was able to bring it back somewhat. But it never really looked good. I searched around for someone to install a new lawn and found a lot of jokers. Then I found Mike. He was so such a straight shooter, knew exactly what was to be done and worked with me to save costs. His guys worked hard and were efficient. All in all a great job. Today, I have a beautiful lawn and it's saying green and full. I think the prior installations were just done incorrectly by landscapers who only dabble in lawns. Hire Mike. He's a pro.
Mike the RotoTillerGuy reliably came with his crew...on the day and time he said he would. His crew did a great job on completely tilling and rotating 1800 sq ft in my back yard, adding his "secret" soil enhancer, and additionally coordinated with a third party quality sod maker next day to deliver . It is pure brilliant to utilize nature's own fertilizer in creating a fertile environment for grass to grow and prosper...especially in today's drought-prevalent La Nina weather. Kudos to Mike for hauling in his prime ingredient from the LA Equestian Center. Brilliant...and I wish all the local expensive landscape companies would take notice!
It's been 4 weeks since he spent 1.5 days at my house installing 1,000 sq ft of lawn, replacing and moving sprinklers and lines, and even taking out a flower bed and shrubs and I'm very glad I hired the Rototiller guy. Mike is super hard working, responsive and a great communicator. Very patient with all of my many questions and even responding to my texts with watering questions after the job. His bid was a good deal lower than the other two I had obtained, but I often don't go with the lowest price out of concern for quality of service/materials. But I did go with him after his quick returned phone call, and his online bid creation was very fair and simple to use (very high tech for a landscaping company) and it gave me a lot of trust in him that I was able to purchase the sod directly from the supplier with his help and without markup.No surprises

Preparation. We break the soil 6–8 inches deep, mix in 3 inches of organic compost and fix the sprinklers before any sod goes down. Most failed lawns we replace were laid on ground that was never prepared.
If the amount of old lawn material fits into your green waste trash can, there is no additional charge. However, if there is more material requiring disposal
If there is more material than can fit into your green waste trash can, than there is probably enough material to constitute a time and labor expense. The hourly rate will apply. Where as another person might have very little or nothing at all to dispose of and there won’t be the need to charge any additional
Disposal is charged based on weight. For less than one ton, the cost is $170 (including dump fees and hauling). For each additional ton, it’s an extra $170. For example, disposing of 1 to 2 tons costs $340.
Rototilling is charged at $0.9 per square foot. For your 1000 sq ft area, the cost would be approximately $900. There is a minimum charge of $180.
