"Jorge offered reasonable prices and his crew did a great job manually de-sodding then leveling out some low spots. Took a 2-man crew most of the day for 2200 sqft. After two weeks now the Palmetto St. Augustine seems to be taking good root into the loam layer. Hopefully will be quite a bit more shade tolerant than the builder grade grass that slowly died out."

Customers say: Quality work

"Mason and his crew were fantastic. My neighbor and I had a large portion of our fence blow over in a recent storm. The fence is now better than it was before it was damaged - he was responsive, efficient and great to work with. Would absolutely use them again.

"Company was great! Honest estimate with full breakdown of materials and services. The removed old grass and prepped the yard giving the new sod the best chance to grow. Installed 4 underground pipes to reduce water runoff and took our idea for 2 paths and created a beautiful final result. Came out after the work was done to confirm everything was as expected and even came back shortly after address any questions we had. Will work with again soon."

"This company is fabulous!!!! He turned our beyond bad lawn into a showpiece!! The original yard was poorly designed and installed which killed the sod. They cleaned all that out, brought in new good soil and leveled it all out for proper layout and drainage. He had beautiful fresh sod delivered and they meticulously laid it out to make sure it was level and even. Afterwards he took his time explaining how to properly maintain/water from that point to at least a month out. Have to say, our yard is now a show piece!!! Highly recommend this company for any issues your lawn needs even installing sprinkler systems to designing and planting. If you want someone that is detailed oriented and treats your lawn as his own, then you will be in awe of Lovely Scapes!!!!"

"I had multiple items I had ordered for my daughters that needed to be put together. These items included a bed, dresser, vanity, crib with changing table attachment, and a swing set. Chris put them together in a timely manner and was very friendly. He also installed blinds and curtain rods for us. He's been back to put up floating shelves and hang televisions in three rooms for us. We call him anytime we have a project around the house."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Lockhart, 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.
