"Cruz did an amazing job pressure washing my rental property. He was extremely responsive from start to finish and kept me updated throughout the entire process. What I appreciated most was his honesty and professionalism, it’s hard to find workers you can truly trust, and Cruz is definitely one of them. He even coordinated directly with my contractor to properly prep the wood for another project, which made everything run so much smoother. I’ll absolutely be working with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, quality work."

"Manny built a professional graded paver pad per my custom request for me to park my RV on. I am very happy with the result. He built to my exact specifications at a competitive price and in a quick timeframe. I would hire him again!"

"Before August 12, 2024, Angi connected me with Rubio Landscape & Maintenance to install my sprinkler system. He asked for 3 payments and promised me it would be completed in 2 weeks. I paid him the initial deposit of 12,175 on 09/02/2025, 2nd payment of $,6087.50 on September 11, and the third and final payment when the job is completed. He has not completed the job, and he started calling me while I was on vacation, asking for money. He wants me to go to the bank to pay him before the job is completed. He was obnoxious and disrespectful. He is so impolite. No manners. He did not complete the job until Oct. 6, 2025. I found defects in the work, like the sump pump was not installed properly. The machine was loosely connected to the post. It was so loose it rattled when windy. I was afraid it was going to fall off and create a hazard. He would not fix it, so my handyman and I reinforced and put additional screws and bolted the pump."

"Jose and his crew are first rate. He is clear, honest and fair. In my neighborhood near Love Field, many seem to know him, which is why I engaged him. I could not recommend more."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Kaufman, 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.
