"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!"

Customers say: Quality work

"The representative was very honest in telling me that I should not waste my money on sod and an irrigation system, as no type of grass is likely to thrive there. Given my budget, he suggested focusing on improvements to the front yard so as to improve curb appeal when I put it on the market next year."

"What initially set this contractor apart from all other brick mailbox contractors I dealt with is simple.... this company responded AND came out and completed the work.  I had contacted two other providers, one of which had come out and given a quote and supposedly ordered brick, at which point I never heard from them again despite calling them numerous times.  Other people gave 2 to 3 month lead times.
We had a lot of work done this year and I signed up on Angie's list specifically to find someone who could/would actually come do ours.  Whether it was just timing, fate, or the interaction of the service contractor gods, Stonemastertx was exceptionally quick in responding and even moreso to actually come out and finish the project (within that very week).  I had been trying for three months to finalize this prior to contacting Stonemastertx.
So I give this provider a really high mark - the finished product was fantastic, on top of the great service and communication.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Ennis, 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.
