"First the Design Phase. Tony Godsey, the owner of Texas Outdoor Escapes did a wonderful job of helping us finalize the design of a large backyard project that included the following: extensive concrete work in a backyard that was far from flat with some complex slopes; the design of a composite elevated deck with stairs; and the design of a covered patio with a custom fireplace. Tony has great people skills and will work with any customer to ensure complete satisfaction of the design before construction is started. He is open to make reasonable changes to the design during construction as some changes on a large project are almost inevitable as a design on paper is just that, and must be experienced first hand in three dimensions to see if everything has just the right perspective in dimensions/ size, etc. Next the Construction Phase. The concrete work was done first. We were impressed with the amount of rebar and steel used as part of the concrete work which included a foundation for a swim spa that when filled with water weighed over eight tons and had to be very level and the foundation for the fireplace under the covered patio weighing at least six tons. The decorative stamped concrete was expertly accomplished and the resulting work looks terrific. Tony and his crew also constructed the following: an elevated composite deck (fully skirted) using hidden fasteners on the deck surface; a 100 percent stained cedar pergola over the deck, and a stained cedar covered patio and custom fireplace. All his work was of superior quality. I would highly recommend that Texas Outdoor Escapes be consulted for a very reasonable bid before starting any outdoor project. I believe that Tony will provide you with a "best value" bid for your project. Texas Outdoor escapes with provide great work using quality materials."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Hondo, 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.
