"Mike and his crew did a great job starting with taking down my slow dying tree. He initially gave me great recommendations on what he could do after the tree and make me a great looking landscape in its place. Mike was very creative and knowledgeable with many types of plants and tree recommendations and I could not be happier with his work we decided on. I?m already seeing budding in my Crepe Myrtle?s!

"The project involved painting the entire exterior, as well as the interior common area walls, doors, baseboards, and moldings. After considering three contractors, we chose Real Deal Curb Appeal (RDCA) for their affordability and the value they offered. Overall, we are satisfied with the finished product; however, its execution was not flawless and required a significant amount of unexpected oversight to meet our desired expectations. On a more positive note, Eric and his team went above and beyond to address all of our concerns, showcasing a genuine commitment to ensuring the job was thoroughly complete. I would consider RDCA for future jobs and have recommended them to friends and family."

"Just bought a home 1yr. ago, and we have had them mowing and maintaining our lawn. They came highly recommended, and I have never been more pleased with Ramiro and his crew. We are now looking at building a pergola with an outdoor kitchen, stump removal, and trimming trees- and wouldn't have anyone else do this work other than this amazing team."

"Juan and his crew did a great job and they were my lowest bidder. They even did extra pavers for me and didn't charge me extra. When I realized my pop up valve was buried under the sod, Juan came the next day to dig it up. All of this and my yard looks fantastic! Thank you J&A!"

"Had a fence and steel frame gate installed July 2023. The gate is monstrously heavy, and they did try to support the weight with a spring loaded wheel at the end. Less than one year later, the gate is almost impossible to close. It sags under its own weight and must be lifted up to reach the latch. I have called and texted several time to get a quote to have the gate repaired. It took a week to get them to send someone to inspect it and give me a quote. They finally sent me a quote, but I have asked multiple times when they could schedule me, and to send a written quote to my email. It has been over a week and I get no response. Today I texted them to see if they would recommend another company to complete the repairs instead. Very bad customer service."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Grand Prairie, 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.
