"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!!"

"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!"

"I hired CustomScapes to sod a good portion of our St. Augustine in the front yard and to install a sloping creek bed of rock to help with a drainage issue. Juan runs his business very professionally, He and his crew did an awesome job from beginning to end in one day. I now have a beautiful yard! I definitely recommend them to anyone needing landscaping projects."

"We needed sod put down in the front yard and our flower beds to be reworked -- out w/the bushes & the holly bushes. This team worked hard to lay the sod, trimmed some trees, my neighbors bush that was out of control in my yard. They replaced the flowerbed railing, replaced mulch w/rock & installed new plants replace the holly & bushes. We even went plant shopping! Cynthia is extremely friendly, knows her business. There was a bit of a delay with the team getting to the house, but once they arrived, awesome! They came back the next day to finish up just a few items from the day before, since it was getting dark. I would highly recommend this company for your landscaping needs!"

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.
