Sod Installation Near Rhome TX | Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia

Sod fails for a few reasons, and almost none of them are the sod. It gets laid on hard clay with no prep, the seams are left open, or nobody tells the homeowner how to water it for the first three weeks. We take care of all three.

We pull the old turf or weeds, fix the grade so water runs away from the foundation, work in compost or sandy loam where the ground needs it, roll it, lay it tight, and water it in before we leave.

How it goes

Measure

We measure the area and look at sun and shade to recommend a grass.

Prep

Removal, grading and soil work. This is most of the job.

Lay

Sod goes down the same day it is cut whenever we can schedule it that way.

Follow up

We check in at about two weeks to make sure it is knitting down.

Notes from the field

Picking a grass. Full sun all day: Bermuda (Tifway 419 is the standard). Some afternoon shade: St. Augustine, like Raleigh or Palmetto. Want something thick that takes some shade and holds up to kids and dogs: zoysia. Big open acreage you want to stay green with little water: common Bermuda or a native buffalograss blend.

Best time to lay sod here is April through September, when warm-season grass is growing. We can lay dormant sod in winter, but it won't root until spring and needs some babysitting.

Questions we get

How much is sod installed?

It is priced by the square foot and depends heavily on how much prep the ground needs. A bare builder lot with good grade is cheapest; tearing out a dead lawn and regrading costs more. We give you a measured, itemized number.

How soon can I walk on it?

Light foot traffic after about two weeks. Hold off on mowing until it is rooted (tug a corner; if it doesn't lift, it's ready), usually two to three weeks in summer.

Can you lay sod during watering restrictions?

Most cities in our area allow extra watering for new landscape with a variance or a short grace period. We'll check your city's current rules before we schedule.
