"Gil and his crew took care of all our needs. Tilled bare spots, added enriched topsoil, laid sod, rolled finished sod, tore down junk behind fence, added sprinkler head, checked all sprinklers to ensure full coverage, collected live oak leaves from front yard, etc. We couldn’t be happier."

"In addition to the stone flower beds, the plants he recommended were an excellent compliment to the brickwork. A Bluetooth controlled irrigation system was also recommended and has made watering the yard and flowers so easy with programmable settings that I can change from my recliner with a few keystrokes. No more going into the garage to adjust settings. The experience with R.D.D. was very pleasant and his crew were hard working and very considerate of our property. We ve had many compliments from neighbors as they walk by. We recommend them with no hesitation."

"Landscape 360 is amazing! Mike, Ceasar and their whole crew are top notch. I originally hired them to install a concrete slab in my backyard for a shed and ended up having them replace the landscape in my front yard too! They had great ideas with no pressure. They were on time, professional, efficient and very reasonably priced. I really appreciate that Mike took time to make sure I was happy with their work and that I knew how to maintain it after they left. I highly recommend Landscape 360."

"Outstanding Service and Incredible Workmanship! I can't say enough good things about H&M Services! Hector and his crew went above and beyond to help me after a storm left my livestock without a fence. While other companies ignored my calls or acted like my situation wasn’t important, Hector made me feel heard and valued from the very start. Even with their packed schedule, they worked me in and got the job done quickly, saving my animals’ freedom and my peace of mind. The team arrived early, worked tirelessly without taking breaks, and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Their dedication, professionalism, and hard work were truly impressive. Every single person was polite, respectful, and focused on getting the job done right. Hector took the time to answer all my questions, big or small, and made sure I was completely satisfied. If you're looking for a fence company that genuinely cares about their customers and delivers top-quality work, look no further. Highly recommended!"

"Tremendous experience with this irrigation company—absolutely fantastic! Jon came out, and let me tell you, folks—what a professional. Total winner. He kept me informed every step of the way, always on time (very rare these days), and got the job done quickly, efficiently, and perfectly. No mess, no nonsense—just results. People are always talking about “great service,” but this was next-level. Nobody does it better. If you’re looking for irrigation work, believe me—this is the company. Jon? He’s a total star. Five stars, ten stars if I could. The best!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Dallas, 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.
