"Oscar and team did a wonderful job of clearing and sodding our front yard installing stone in the backyard. They were fast efficient and thorough. Oscar was always available with advice and recommendations. My yard has never looked better. I would highly recommend Forever Green 2 Landscaping for your yard maintenance or project. Thanks Oscar!"

"Incredibly detailed work whether this is removing rocks that we didn't know was underneath the original yard or shaping the sod to exactly fit the curves of the sidewalk."

Customers say: Quality work

"We got four bids for our backyard project, and we liked that Kevin was the only one who suggested taking out the entire back yard grass and instead installing mulch and rocks.  We struggled with both very sunny areas and very shady areas in our yard and it was making the growing grass almost impossible. We weren't able to afford everything that Kevin suggested, and he was willing to work with us to make changes that kept the project beautiful but reduced cost. When the sprinkler repairs became more complicated than either of us expected due to damage from the other construction project, Kevin was great to work with and keep costs down for us. The end result is beautiful.

"Great communication! Great work in laying new zoysia grass! Also did superior work in significantly pruning two trees whose canopy was only allowing minimal sunlight to reach the ground. I am very happy with VAST's work"

"Travis and crew replaced a heavily damaged front yard our home. Did a great job, everything looks good! Went above and beyond other quotes by installing base soil, trimming back trees, and leaving some space for future additions."

"Not what I expected or hoped for. Communication with the landscaping company owner, the crew, and myself did NOT result in an attractive, low maintenance yard. I am now overwhelmed with weeds that weren?t addressed before the yards were seeded with micro-clover. Trees that had provided privacy were trimmed too high. Even trees in pots were sheared unnecessarily. Plumbago and oleander that I wanted to keep were removed. Follow-up after the job has not occurred. Unless you can follow each of the workers at all times, ensure that you clearly specify exactly what you want and do not want."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Helotes, 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.
