"Abel was on time and very efficient in his work. We asked Abel to replace our backyard lawn with new sod. Abel came with one of his workers and the lawn looks great. We were so impressed with their work that we had them do some additional work on our sprinkler system. I will be calling Abel for all my future landscaping needs."

"I was extremely pleased with the finished job. I love my lights!!! Illuminart came out and I explained to them what I wanted. They made suggestions and placed temporary lights so I could see what the finished job would be. I was able to make changes before the final installation. John and his crew were wonderful to work with. Always responded very quickly when I called and they definitely want you to be pleased with the finished job. Awesome customer service!!"

"We have used Carlos and Elite Arborist for years now. Our back yard holds one big beautiful life oak. Elite Arborist grooms and protects this tree. They go above and beyond to make our entire experience wonderful. Professional and polite, they work from the ground and from up in the tree, carefully removing only what is needed to make our tree healthy and able to handle strong storms and icy winters. They clean the yard when complete, taking and mulching all debris. We will continue to use them every time such work is needed and highly recommend Elite Arborist."

"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!"

"Christina has earned my trust and loyalty! 1) Her sod install came in $1,000 less than my other bid. Before doing the job, she made recommendations and after the job, she gave me instructions to ensure success of the new lawn. My lawn looks great! 2) She also recommended replacing my rotting gate with a fenceline to save cost since I already had another gate to the backyard. She did a great job on that as well. 3) Most recently, a windstorm blew down a tree knocking down a fenceline with a brick base. I was supposed to close on that house the following week with an appraiser coming the following Monday. Christina fit me into her schedule as a prior customer and did a fantastic job repairing the fence in time for the appraiser! 4) Additionally, she adjusted the soil level in my flowerbeds so that water would not pool around the foundation since the appraiser had specifically requested this repair to be done before his follow-up visit. Christina got this done in time. The appraiser waited until the morning of close to submit a report demanding that the landscaper confirm that water would not pool around the foundation, otherwise he would not approve the buyers' mortgage. Although Christina was out of town, she responded to this request in time so that the buyers could obtain their mortgage and close on our home at 2 pm that same day. I am so grateful to Christina for making it possible to sell my house! I don't think the sale would have gone through on the scheduled closing date if I had hired anyone else! She is the best and I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who needs a landscaper who also repairs fences and sprinklers!"

"Juan and his team did a fantastic job cleaning up our property. It was way overgrown and it was not easy pulling out just weeds and keeping the good plants. They worked really hard to make sure clippings didnâ t end up in the canal and they cleaned up really well after they were done. They also laid new sod in several areas and planted some ground cover for us.. I will definitely use them again and would highly recommend!"

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.
