"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."

"Abel and his team did a great job! They installed a new sprinkler system in my front yard in under a day and did such a good job of restoring the sod that you can barely tell they had to dig it all up. I highly recommend these guys."

"Installer arrived and went right to work, knew exactly the way to do the job. Finished laying the sod, cleaned the area all in fast time. Checked my sprinkler system to make sure it was working properly. Left instructions on how to properly water the new sod and what to expect in coming days, Tal James"

"This was our second time using Pinckard Landscaping, and once again, it was truly a job well done. This time, we decided to have new landscaping installed in our front yard. We worked with Sandy and after meeting with us, discussing our preferences and taking meticulous measurements, she came back with a color rendering of her recommendations for the project. We made just a few adjustments and the work began the following week. The yard looks amazing!"

"These people gave me best estimate from 3 I had chosen. They were very informative about different plants and options. The work they did transformed my yard so much that I didn t realize how sad our yard was before they came! I had Sod laid, trees and plants with rock work done around my pool, backyard and front yard. I just hired them again to update plants in front yard for winter. Cynthia literally would shop nurseries and do the negotiating and then give me her cost for the plants and supplies! Both owners check on work done, come by to check on progress of plants and often do the work themselves with their crew. I ve gained so much trust in them that they know my style, I just tell them to pick out what they think is best. Can t say enough good things about this company! Great people !"

"Green View and Landscaping did a fantastic job creating the backyard of my dreams! Only took a week to install a new cement patio, drive way extension, 8 ft privacy fence with 3 iron window inserts, stone retaining wall, updated irrigation paths, leveled top soil with new grass sod, and fresh mulch in the flower beds."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Arlington, 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.
