Five jobs, one family crew
Everything starts with the same walk-through and the same question: how much sun does this yard get?
Sod installation
Bermuda, zoysia or St. Augustine on ground we prepare, rolled and watered in.
How we lay sodOld grass and weeds removed first
Soil loosened and graded away from the house
Seams staggered, edges trimmed by hand
New-build lawns
The first lawn on a lot the builder has finished, timed around your sprinklers.
New-build lawnsGrade checked before sod goes down
Laid after the sprinkler zones are tested
Strip and replace
For a lawn where weeds have won. The old turf comes out and the ground is fixed before new sod.
Haul-off of the old turf
Soil leveled and loosened
Patch and repair
A dead patch, a trench line or a spot the dog dug up, cut out and filled with matching sod.
We match the grass already in your yard
Ask about the cause too: we will say what killed it
First-year care
A written watering and mowing plan for the first months, and a visit to check the roots.
Tug test before the first mow
Mowing height for your grass
When to lay sod
Sod through the Central Texas year
Warm-season grass likes warm soil. Here is what each stretch of the year means for a new lawn.
January – March
The grass is dormant and tan, and that is normal. These are good months to plan, measure and book spring.
Book spring installs while the calendar is open
Mowing starts once the soil reaches the mid-50s
Sod laid on dormant ground will not root until the soil warms
April – May
The soil warms and sod roots quickly. This is when Bermuda and zoysia are easiest to start, and when our calendar fills first.
The easy window for all three grasses begins
Water new sod every day at first
Wait to fertilize until the sod has rooted
June – August
Sod still goes down in summer. We start early in the morning, and new sod needs daily water for the first couple of weeks.
Early-morning installs
Mow high to shade the soil
Check your city's watering rules before you set a schedule
September – October
A second good window: warm soil and cooler air. Sod laid early in the fall has weeks to root before cold weather.
Last fertilizer round of the year for existing lawns
Fall installs work best before the first frost
November – December
Dormant again. We take fewer installs, tell you plainly how slowly sod roots in the cold, and plan next spring's yards.
Leaf clean-up helps the grass underneath
Book early for spring
Dates are typical for Central Texas. A late freeze or an early heat wave can move them.
