"The initial lighting consultation went well and several lighting options were presented by The Perfect Light. Once we picked a plan the subsequent lighting installation looked very nice; both the product and services were of high quality. Additionally, the price is fair and the lights were installed according to the chosen lighting option and on the date promised. Finally, the lights were taken down by The Perfect Light promptly around the first week of January. (Both the installation and the taking down of the lights are included in the overall price; there are no hidden fees.)"

"We had a little trouble getting together at first,probably because of the holidays. But once we made a second appointment things went well. George took a look and said he could fix it by cutting out a section of the frame around the strike plate area and replacing it, then installing some new weather stripping and a new door nob kit. He did just that and it fixed the problem quite well. Work was done in good time and within budget."

"John did an amazing job, he got back to me quickly and was super helpful. He built a fence for me and stained it, it came out beautiful. I am hoping to build a deck later in the year and I will definitely be calling John as soon as we are ready. Great job and great customer service."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Bonham, 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.
