In May 2014 we had a full landscape design and installation which did not work well for our situation and needed to be redone.  While  researching options for the renovation we found Michelle at Premium Outdoor on Angie's List.  I contacted her by email and she responded immediately.  We scheduled an appointment to review our needs and discuss our preferences.  She arrived promptly.  Michelle was extremely easy to talk with and very interested in determining our desired outcome for the project.  She was very honest about what would and/or would not work.  We appreciate that she advised against with some of our  ideas when she knew they would not produce long term positive results.  She told us she would create a design and get back to us.  She soon began sending emails of her design concepts and many photos, with information, of a variety of interesting and unique plant/tree options.   Michelle was also very patient when we asked to add to the original plan and estimate.  She was careful to let us know immediately what costs would be involved.  The entire project went as planned.  Everyone, including Michelle's husband Scott and the crew, were a pleasure to work with.  They had to reroute drainage from one bed across the front yard.  When they were finished you could barely tell the lawn had been trenched and replanted.

Michelle's put a lot of thought into this design making certain everything from plants to stone to mulch was well done.  Her design is very creative and provided great curb appeal.  Several neighbors complimented her work and asked for contact information.

I  want to emphasize this was a renovation which is much more difficult than working with new landscape.  This was a major project and Premium Outdoor did their best to salvage and work with existing plantings. 

We are in the process of planning ongoing landscaping and outdoor improvements with Premium Outdoor.

FAQs for sod installation projects in Hockley, 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.
