Leaking valve, stuck timer, brown spot that keeps growing. Send photos or call and we’ll tell you what’s likely going on. Many fixes you can do yourself, and we’ll say so. Plenty of our customers first met us that way.
Sound familiar?
Whether you’re near the coast or further inland, the complaints are surprisingly similar, and so are the fixes.
Usually: No organic matter in the soil, so nothing feeds the roots.
What we do: Till in a full 3″ of compost.
Usually: Compacted ground that can’t absorb water.
What we do: Loosen the soil 6–8″ deep so it soaks in.
Usually: Roots left behind from the old lawn.
What we do: Clear everything out, then till before anything new goes in.
Usually: Old heads or bad spacing.
What we do: Repair or reroute the zones so coverage is even.
No problem. We work by hand and with compact equipment where trucks can’t reach, including narrow side yards and alley-access homes.
You get an itemized bid onsite. Labor, materials, hauling and dump fees are each listed on their own line.
How we can help
The projects that change how a yard looks, and how long it keeps looking that way.
Why our lawns last
Laying sod takes an afternoon. What makes it last is everything underneath. Long Beach soil ranges from sandy near the coast to heavy and compacted further in, so we adjust the mix to your yard, but we never skip a step.
Our main amendment is composted horse manure, used generously, so the lawn is fed naturally for years instead of depending on a quick dose of chemical fertilizer.
Roots included, so nothing regrows through the new grass.
Pick and spade work gives the tiller room to go deep.
Opens up compacted soil so roots can spread.
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

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 $210 (including dump fees and hauling). For each additional ton, it’s an extra $210. For example, disposing of 1 to 2 tons costs $420.
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.
