"The Grass Guys were wonderful!! I was able to schedule an initial appointment for measurements, a cost estimate, and the installation day. It's been a month since the installation and the new sob continues to blend in with my existing grass. I will definitely use The Grass Guys for the backyard. Thanks, Ishmael, and please extend my appreciation to the team."

I’m a hardworking family man building more than a business—I’m building a future. My goal is to leave a legacy my sons can carry forward and a name my daughters will be proud of. I’m stepping away from the everyday 9–5 grind to create a better life for my wife and kids, while still providing for the people who matter most. Every job I take on is done with care, integrity, and family values at the core.

"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."

"I had another contractor do a botched installation of a water feature at my home. Watermark Gardens came in and, working with the salvaged remnants from the prior project, created the water feature I wanted. Their work was reasonably priced, executed exactly to my specifications and completed within the deadline. I am extremely pleased with their work and will use them on future projects!"

"The work went very well. They started some demo, then because of soaking rains, had to wait until things dried up. The owner kept in contact with me through the whole process, which was very nice. The work was then done over a two day period. Everything looked great, they even did a few extra things I had mentioned I'd like to have done - remove a large bush, my drainage concerns.
I would highly recommend Graves. I feel that I got my money's worth and I'm thrilled with the end results.

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.
