"Greenpath Landscapes did 3 jobs for me so far ! I reached out to Daniel and over because his work is just above and beyond. First was just a phone call to see who would move my sprinkler head for me - just needed one head moved. Even though Daniel is far from me ( am located in Baytown) He drove all the way just to move my one sprinkler head for me since I Was extending my patio. Excellent experience . He also pointed out yo my and educated me on my drainage system in my backyard . He wanted me to make sure I donâ t put the slab over the drainage â ¦. That was a free and caring advise from him even though he was not hired for the slab project ( only because I did not know if his company was into adding concrete ) So when I had drainage issue because my backyard is sloping in towards my patio and on rainy days water is not draining well, I called Daniel and he executed the project better than What I had anticipated . He was on time , brought all Supplies and figured the best efficient way to Place the pipes for max drainage and efficiency . Once completed he hoses my lawn ( made it rain. ) and double checked that the system in place was indeed working . Even sent me a videoâ ¦.. While he was there I showed him my busted wooden fence and also Asked for his help on securing my fence so my little 4 pound dog dies not escape from under the fence ! Wallahhhhh Daniel was there with wooden 2 x4 and solved the problem ! I was ecstatic because it gave me so much confidence that I can leave my doggy outside now and then without worrying Such a great feeling Such a great job And finally he will be back later in Feb 2023 to put sod on my grass where he accessed drainage He will make my yard green and safe and beautiful. I guess I wonâ t be hiring anyone else for my landscaping etc Very happy with Greenpath landscaping and their excellent exceptional service and attention to details . Also Daniel is a thoughtful caring guy who cares about the folks who hire him- he gives more and so one wants to hire him every time because he comes through every time and leaves you a happy customer ! Not to mention he sends you professional invoice etc Very very impressed . And he always gets back to you for job updates and progress . Very well rounded caring professional service !!!! Reach out to Daniel !"

"The guys from Heroes worked quickly and completed installing a new irrigation system in my back yard in one day. They were personable and tried to interrupt our daily lives as much as possible. The price was very fair. The guys from Hero’s returned following hurricane Beryl and cleared my backyard of storm debris. They told me they were doing this at no charge for their customers since their regular work was interrupted by the effects of the storm. I highly recommend Hero’s."

Small jobs welcome

I am 22 years old working full time and trying to get a business started on the side. Even though I am young I have lots of experience. I enjoy working I started painting with my family at 5 years old stuck with that for a while. Then went to another company and got more experience in a different trade. I am willing to travel my goal next year is to be near Dallas but will travel back and fourth still. If you need anything done don’t hesitate to reach out and we can meet, make a plan, agree on a price, and get it taken care of for you:) thank you for looking have a great day.

"These guys were fantastic from beginning to end. Ryan showed up on time and was very thorough in discussing and addressing my needs and was very prompt with his quote. He even warned me in advance that they would probably be slightly more than the competition. After researching many companies I still chose Tim's based on far less negative reviews, despite the slightly higher cost. I could not be happier, it was totally worth it. This is easily the best quality fence I have ever seen. The work was completed on time with no issues and no surprise extra cost items that always seem to creep into jobs. I had a special request to install dogproofing along the fence to prevent 3 big, determined, dogs from chewing through or digging under. The guys designed a fence that my dogs will NOT be able to get through and that still looks great inside and out. I am especially happy with the gate, which had to be modified on the fly due to unforeseen issues. The guys were able to make all the modifications on site with no delays. Thanks guys - now I know who to call with all my fencing needs!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Manvel, 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.
