What is the average cost to have new sod installed from start to finish in the San Gabriel Valley?

This would depend heavily on the square footage, soil, soil preparation, etc. Most landscapers, at least in the Midwest, don't offer a square footage price as there are other factors that need to be considered. Before reaching out to someone in your area, try to determine the size of the area needed to sod. Explain if there are any shrubs, trees, plants that need to be removed before sod can be placed. Also, be sure to water the sod every day after it's first installed. You can never over-water in the beginning.

Can you put sod over a straw blanket in spring?

You might consider that if you put straw down in fall, the straw will have decayed enough by spring. But in most areas, you would be mistaken. Sod is intended to be installed on soil that is free of other plants or organic refuse and has been roughed up slightly to encourage a good solid connection between the soil and the roots on the bottom of the sod. Sod is lifted with barely enough soil to keep the plants alive while they are moved and installed in their new location. The intent is that the roots will find soil below them to draw moisture and nutrition from when they are placed. If the location you want to put the sod is low-lying and overly wet, I would add soil and compost to raise the area and improve the drainage before installing the sod but be certain that most of what you are connecting to is pure soil.
