"Abel and his team did a great job! They installed a new sprinkler system in my front yard in under a day and did such a good job of restoring the sod that you can barely tell they had to dig it all up. I highly recommend these guys."

"After talking to six other companies, I decided to give Elite Arborist a try. Carlos came out to give an estimate on laying new sod and redoing the stonework around a tree in my front yard. He was punctual and listened carefully to what I wanted. He told me all the things his company does and how they could make my vision a reality. We ended up agreeing to the work as well as pruning the large oak tree we have. On the day of the project, the sod was delivered 6:30 a.m. and the crew arrived an hour later. I was impressed how they put out orange cones around the area for neighbors’ visual safety. Carlos introduced me to the crew supervisor, Rocky. Throughout the day, Rocky kept me informed about what they were doing and progress. He patiently answered all my questions and reassured me that I would be pleased with the results. I was very impressed with the attention to detail to the stonework around the tree, the meticulous way they prepped to lay the sod and the expertise of tree pruning. They took great care in making sure they left may yard and surrounding areas, i.e., street very clean. By the end of the day, my front yard was transformed and had great curb appeal. Plus, the Oak tree really stands out. Carlos also sent me information on after care and fertilization of the sod. I’m very happy with the results. I paid a little more than I expected but it was well worth it. When it comes to landscaping professionals, Elite Arborist is the company you need. These guys are fantastic. They have a true passion for what they do and are very professional. I highly recommend this company. Their work is top notch."

"The men dug trenches for two french drains and installed those. They used a rototiller to chew up the remaining part of the bed. We had called 811 to get markings for utilities ahead of time. The men prepared the ground with a good mixture of compost and gardening soil. Next, Mike Rohe described a layout to the men for placing a border of landscape timbers, 3 boulders, 2 strips of river rocks, many plants, shrubs and flowers and the stone walkways. After these initial preparations, Mike looked it over and asked many times for plants, flowers and bushes to be moved slightly, rearranged or replaced. There was also a Japanese maple and a pink redbud in the mix. The best part was that we got to attend and watch this production orchestrated to perfection with careful attention payed to each participating plant. Mike walked the area and looked it over from several angles until he was satisfied. Finally, the men dug holes, put in their mix and planted. Drip lines were added throughout. The last touch was a top layer of mulch. The drip lines were tested. It turned out gorgeous! We did not have to pay extra for tickets to attend this production. They received a standing ovation. Anne really liked that Mike listened to what she wanted and did a beautiful job of incorporating it into the landscape. Landscaping is Mike's passion and it shows!"

"Decent price, lots of upsells for other projects, but less than optimal primary job of re-sodding the yard. Very uneven, lots of soft spots, uneven sod placement. Job agreed was for stripping old grass, tilling base with prepping dirt for new sod, and new rolled sod placed. Old grass was removed, then dirt was scratched up with minimal leveling. One roll of sod placed, the rest used was sod sections, still dry & mostly dormant was used (because rolls weren't available until later?) Grass is coming in but the poor yard leveling & prep (level & prep were the primary reason for hiring him) left lots of uneven gaps, soft spots, high & low & undulating sod for my front yard. He did well with sprinklers and other aspects of the job."

"In dealing with Robert over the past couple of weeks, I have found him to be a consummate professional in landscape design and installation of sprinkler/drip systems. He first discussed with me the best plants for the area in which we live. I found that if I wanted to change or adjust anything throughout the process, Robert listened carefully and then proceeded to implement those changes required. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and responsive to my needs�never hurrying to cut corners or skip important details. It was sheer artistry to see him and his competent crew beautifully landscape my yard. Robert even came back out after the project was finished to ensure that the plants were properly planted and growing. He also checked to make certain that the water and electrical systems were installed correctly. I have never seen a company that shows so much care and concern over the product they were delivering. I will always use Native Springs Outdoor Living for my landscaping needs."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Lake Dallas, 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.
