"Great...2nd time I've used them. First time was major problem (I thought). One zone wouldn't yard irrigation zine wouldn't work and 2 other services couldn't find the controller and indicated they would have to do major digging to locate. Superior's team came out, determined the controller was Ok and problem was a broken wire...located the break within 30 minutes and repaired it. Thought I had completed the review last year when that work was done but found the review was still waiting for submission. Most recent job was repairing a broken line and some drip system replacing...Took a little longer but still would give them an A+. They are my "go to" irrigation service from now on...."

"Dagan and his team were wonderful to work with. We ended up changing the design a few times as they were working on the yard. They helped by giving me advise and ideas that I could envision of how to best utilize the small yard space. The flagstone area turned out better than expected. The new flagstone area blends in so well that you can not tell the difference between the initial work and the new installation. I would definitely hire them again."

"Tony, his sons, employees, and subcontractors were all very professional! They were all hard working, kept a clean worksite, provided all their own equipment, and they all had excellent skills and craftsmanship! Tony used very reliable subcontractors for concrete pour, stamping and stain. His electrician, masonry, and granite contractors were top notch! Tony and his sons installed our pergola and it's impressive! I had told him in the beginning I was working on a time limit and needed the project completed well before a set date and he made sure it happened! I gave him my concept drawing and he made it reality! He kept me informed all along the way of what was happening and if there were delays or issues (weather was the biggest problem). He was very honest and flexible. His contractors came out started and completed the jobs given in a timely and professional manner. Wow, they even stayed until late at night to complete a job because they knew the weather would delay the project going forward. Although we had a wet summer and he had to dodge the rain, my beautiful and well-constructed patio is the envy of the neighborhood! The best part of the experience was the way he made us feel as customers. He cared about our wishes and desire to be wow’d and he responded quickly to our questions and concerns; we felt valued as a customer! In the end he took the time to create a drone aerial photo of our new patio; it was brought into perspective the awesome work and a dream come true. I can't say enough, I'm so proud to show off my new patio escape! I’m very particular and I want to say thank you Tony for putting up with my many changes!!!! Your work is A+++"

"Arrived much later in the day than promised. Took longer than estimated, but work time estimate was clearly too optimistic. Tech worked efficiently and professionally. Good quality work, good looking and solid gate. Left a little bit of mess."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Karnes City, 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.
