san diego or company in san diego who puts grass down
Producing a lawn from seed is cheaper than if using turf, so it partly depends on your budget. As the weather in San Diego doesn't differ so much year round you can mostly prepare and plant a lawn whenever you want.
There's a huge range of grass varieties, and I'd recommend choosing one that is appropriate for your needs - lawns that get used heavily would ideally require a different grass to one that is used lightly, and is required more for its outstanding appearance. Likewise there are varieties that are better in shady areas, rather than full sun. If you use a couple of different mixes in areas it's still possible to have a lawn that blends in, if you want it all to be linked together. Perennial rye grasses tend to be fast to establish as well as highly durable, withstanding high wear and tear. If you get a seed mix with ryegrass you'll generally have a lawn that knows how to look after itself (still needs mowing though!) and many of the Fescue varieties are finer, and colonise well. Zoysia is a good heat tolerant grass, though often not as fine leaved as many of the others - Bermuda grass is mainly a larged leaved grass, and my least favourite.

I can't recommend a landscaping company in SD, but you could break the job down into a couple of areas - preparation of the soil, levelling etc, and then the seeding/cultivation of the grass or laying turf. Partly this will depend on your available time, interest as well as budget levels. As with most home jobs, the better the preparation the Higher the quality of the finished result. Check for drainage issues, as this can lead to moss growth later on.
Key preparation is to clear any debris away, level the land, and ensure that the surface soil is fine, so that seed can easily grow in it. It's worthwhile adding some fertiliser too, as this will let the lawn grow strongly from the start, it's also advisable to add some compost or other source of humus into the soil, which will help retain moisture, as well as release nutrients for the grass.

It's better to get recommendations on any labor sources that you might want to use, and consider breaking downt the job, so that you could do undertake any parts of it that interest you etc.
There's some info on seed mixes etc here:

Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
If you're starting from seed, you should put down perennial seed that grows back every year. Don't use annual, because it only lasts one year. You can use annual seed in the spring to fill in, because it fills in faster, and covers thin spots better, but the perennial should make up the greatest amount of grass. As for availability, any garden supply store, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. It doesn't take a lot of work to spread seed, you can even do it by hand if you don't have or don't want to rent a spreader. It's not the installation, it's the maintenance that's the hard work.
