Sod Installation
Transform your bare yard into a lush, green lawn in just one day with professional sod installation.

The Fastest Way to Get a Beautiful Lawn
Sod installation gives you an instant lawn instead of waiting months for grass seed to grow. When you lay sod, you get mature grass that's already thick, green, and healthy. This means you can enjoy your new lawn right away, and your kids and pets can play on it within a few weeks. Professional <a href="https://www.portsmouthlandscapingpros.com" rel="dofollow" className="text-primary hover:underline">sod installation</a> also prevents soil erosion and mud problems that come with bare ground.
Compared to seeding, sod offers better results with less hassle. Seeds can wash away in rain, get eaten by birds, or fail to germinate in certain spots. This leaves you with patchy grass and bare areas that need constant reseeding. Sod eliminates these problems because the grass is already established and growing. You skip the frustrating waiting period and get consistent coverage across your entire lawn. Our landscaping services in Burleson include complete sod installation from soil preparation to final watering.
Sod also gives you better weed control from day one. The thick grass blocks sunlight that weeds need to grow, so you have fewer problems with dandelions, crabgrass, and other invasive plants. This saves you time and money on weed control products. Plus, a healthy sod lawn stays cooler in summer, reduces dust, and improves air quality around your home. It also increases your property value significantly more than a seeded lawn would.
How We Install Your New Sod Lawn
Proper installation is crucial for sod to take root and thrive. We follow a proven process that ensures your new lawn gets the best possible start. Here's what we do:
Site Preparation
- Remove existing grass, weeds, and debris from the installation area
- Grade the soil to ensure proper drainage away from your home
- Till the soil to a depth of 4 to 6 inches for optimal root growth
- Add topsoil and soil amendments to create ideal growing conditions
- Level and smooth the surface so the sod lays flat and even
Sod Installation and Care
We order fresh sod that's cut the same day we install it. Fresh sod has the best chance of taking root quickly and establishing a strong lawn. We lay the sod in a brick pattern with tight seams to prevent gaps as it settles. After installation, we roll the sod to eliminate air pockets and ensure good contact between the grass roots and soil.
Then we water your new lawn thoroughly to help it take root. We also provide detailed care instructions so you know exactly how to water and maintain your sod during the critical first few weeks. Proper watering is essential for successful establishment, and we make sure you understand the schedule.
Most sod takes root within two to three weeks with proper care. After that, you can gradually reduce watering and treat it like an established lawn. If you need ongoing maintenance, our lawn care and maintenance services keep your sod looking perfect year-round.
Selecting the Best Grass for Your Yard
Not all grass types work well in the Burleson climate. We help you choose sod that will thrive in Texas heat and handle your yard's specific conditions. Factors like sun exposure, soil type, and how you use your lawn all influence which grass variety is best for you.
Bermuda grass is the most popular choice for Texas lawns because it loves heat and sun. It grows thick and dense, which makes it durable for high-traffic areas where kids and pets play. Bermuda grass also has good drought tolerance once established, though it does go dormant and turn brown in winter. If you want a lawn that stays green longer, St. Augustine grass works better. It handles shade better than Bermuda and stays green further into fall, but it needs more water and doesn't tolerate heavy foot traffic as well.
Zoysia grass is another excellent option for Texas. It requires less water than St. Augustine, tolerates moderate shade, and creates a dense, carpet-like lawn. Zoysia grows slower, which means less mowing, but it takes longer to establish and fill in bare spots. We consider all these factors along with your budget and maintenance preferences when recommending the right sod for your property.
We can also help you plan other landscape features to complement your new lawn. Our landscape design and installation services create beautiful outdoor spaces that enhance your sod and increase your home's curb appeal.
