Sod Installation

Laying new sod to create a stunning lawn is both an art and a science, and our highly trained sod installation team has perfected both.

Once we determine the best choice for your landscape, we will prepare the site to ensure proper drainage.
The sod is expertly laid to ensure that a firm bond between the sod and the soil is achieved.
The sod is laid with careful consideration of the surrounding walkways and buildings, following gradients and curves to ensure visual and aesthetically beautiful lines.
Our sod laying team takes great care in their work, laying each piece by hand.
When we have finished laying the sod, we will carefully roll the new lawn to ensure that it will be perfectly level when we are through.

When we have finished laying the sod, we water your new lawn and give your care instructions.

The finished product that we hand over to you, our client, never fails to please.

A rich green lawn that is beautifully contoured and immaculately sculpted immediately enhances the beauty and value of your property.

Sod comes in several varieties. Some prefer shade, others prefer sun, and others perform well in high traffic areas. If you are thinking about ordering or planting sod, it’s important to know the difference between the varieties. That way, you’ll be able to achieve the lawn you desire in the most cost-effective and timely manner.

Some turf choices for Central Texas:

Bermuda

Bermuda grass is one of the best choices for a hot, sunny climate.

BENEFITS:

Bermuda is the most popular of sod grasses available. It is widely used because of its low maintenance requirements and its good tolerance to regional weather conditions. It is a rapidly spreading variety that becomes extremely dominant and discourages weeds if maintained properly. Bermuda takes root very quickly and grows well in clay conditions.

It needs less water than other grasses, and its ability to withstand frequent traffic contributes to its desirability. Bermuda sod provides a green dense luster in the growing season and reverts to a light wheat color during its dormant period in the winter months. It is a favorite of golf courses, and again, if maintained properly gives a beautiful appearance.

RECOMMENDED SUNLIGHT:

10-12 hours per day

PRO'S:

  • Least Expensive of the Five Sod Types
  • Low Overall Maintenance
  • Highest Tolerance to Sunlight
  • Good Tolerance to Traffic
  • Takes Root and Spreads Rapidly
  • Aggressive Growth
  • Grows Well in Clay

CON'S:

  • Loses Color During Winter Dormancy

Zoysia

Zoysia has been referred to as the Premier sod. When at its best, Zoysia looks nothing short of spectacular. It is a slow-growing, fine-textured, dense turf grass. Maintenance is similar to that of Bermuda sod; however, Zoysia requires less mowing during the growing season than the other types. It is generally resistant to weeds and can tolerate a high volume of traffic.

When properly cared for, Zoysia's appearance is impeccable, but if not properly maintained, it can gain a semi-dormant look. Zoysia has been referred to as the Premier sod. When at its best, Zoysia looks nothing short of spectacular. It is a slow-growing, fine-textured, dense turf grass.

St Augustine

St. Augustine is a warm season grass.

Although it has a strong growth habit, it is slow to replenish weak areas and is not as traffic tolerant as Bermuda. St. Augustine can tolerate a moderate amount of shade, but does its best in full sun.

The color is normally paler than other sod types and requires a consistent watering schedule to achieve a lush green appearance. St. Augustine goes into a Simi-dormancy during the winter.

RECOMMENDED SUNLIGHT:

5-7 hours per day, Some Hybrids as low as 1 hour per day
