"I recently had sod installed, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the beginning, their communication was excellent — they responded quickly, answered all my questions clearly, and kept me updated throughout the process. They truly care about the quality of their work and made sure everything was done properly to achieve the best possible results. The installation was completed efficiently without sacrificing attention to detail, and the final outcome looks amazing. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for professional, reliable, and high-quality sod installation."

"I was impressed with Alex from our initial contact. He was very informative regarding the type of sod that would be suitable for my yard without attempting to upsell to what considered “designer sod”. Alex also addressed the drainage issues in my yard along with the sod installation. His communication throughout the process and post installation were excellent. The added value of of the customer service and the quality of the work performed made Green Flower Landscaping the best value for this job."

"I would highly recommend Nate. Very responsive and good communication. Team worked very hard and did a great job for a fair price. Sod was still dormant because of the cold weather but he made sure I was aware before delivering. I also had them do some pretty extensive drainage work and they delivered with the same execution. Thanks!"

"The quote process went well. Carlos is very knowledgeable about the trees and processes. The quoted cost was much 50%than other Arborists (which is different than a tree trimmer). When I asked why the price was high, The response was "I am offering a premium pruning, which consist of raising canopies, interior thinning, reduce away from home, balancing trees, deadwood, mistletoe and broken limbs removed, most importantly the Selective Pruning on the higher parts of tree that is strongly recommend." Based on this response, I hired them to do the job. They did a good job of installing the tree brace and cable system. They also did a nice job of pruning the Live Oak. However, the other 2 trees were given a very minimal trimming. Asked for them to return and complete the "Premium", They came back the next day and did the job completely. The trees now look great. In summary, they are capable, quick, knowledgeable and expensive, and may under-prune unless you are very clear on your instructions."

"They went above and beyond the norm in the sod installation. Doing such things as straightening and rearranging landscape rocks and edging and fixing sprinklers. Very easy to work with and have a high degree of confidence in the quality of the work."

"Abel showed up on day one as timed scheduled to review my front lawn. Gave me a quotation with reasonable pricing for the sod installation, plus reasons and understanding why it's so important to repair or replace my sprinkler system... Thanks Abel!!"

"Gerardo and crew did great work. There was a lot of rain the day before the install, but they came out and determined the area was dry enough to do the work. The sod turned out great."

"I used Landscape Innovations for two projects a few weeks ago. The first was to replace my Bermuda Lawn with Palisades Zoysia and the second was to replace a generic walkway to my front door with a new Stamped Concrete walkway. Since I left a pretty mixed review for the sod replacement I feel like it is only fair to give a good review for the Concrete work done by Landscape Innovations. The removal of the "generic" concrete walkway and installation of a new stamped concrete walkway went very well and was completed in one day. They allowed me to pick the exact path that I wanted for the concrete forms and made sure that the color (red brick to match the house) was what I wanted. We are very pleased with the work and get many compliments from our neighbors on the new walkway."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Allen, TX

Seeding costs less up front, but you’ll wait months—and sometimes a full season—for the grass to fill in. Sod costs more per square foot, yet it gives you an instant, usable lawn the day it’s installed and needs far less care during the first year. 

If speed and early curb appeal matter, the higher sod price is often worth it; if you’re watching every dollar and don’t mind the wait, seed can still be a smart play.

Start by sketching your lawn and breaking it into rectangles or circles. Measure each section, multiply length by width, and then add all the sections together for the total square footage. Standard sod rolls are two feet by 1.5 feet, and one pallet covers 450 square feet. 

Divide your total area by 450 to see how many pallets you need, then round up—extras come in handy for cutting around curves or mistakes. Still unsure? A local sod supplier or installer can confirm your math before you order.

Most sod grips the soil within 10 to 14 days. During that stretch, keep foot traffic to a minimum and mow only if the grass gets tall. After two weeks, the roots should be strong enough for light use, but wait six weeks before heavy play or frequent mowing. Giving the grass that short honeymoon helps it anchor firmly and sets the stage for a durable, healthy lawn.

Give your new lawn two full weeks before any foot traffic, then stick to light use only. Hold off on vigorous play, parties, or regular mowing until the six-week mark so the roots can dig deep. Keep watering on schedule and watch for any dry patches. A little patience now means stronger turf and fewer repairs later.

Keep an eye on color, moisture, and even growth. Fresh sod should stay uniformly green; brown spots or gaps hint at dry soil or poor contact. Water deeply at least once a day for the first week (more in hot weather) and back off gradually after the roots take. Avoid heavy foot traffic until the grass feels firmly anchored. Quick attention to trouble spots now prevents costly patches later.

Aim for spring or early fall when daytime temps hover between 55°F and 80°F. Mild weather and consistent moisture help the roots knit quickly. Laying sod in midsummer can stress the grass, while frozen winter soil blocks rooting altogether. 

If you must install outside the ideal window, budget extra time for watering and tending to the turf. Choosing the right season makes the job easier and the lawn tougher.
