"I was impressed with Alex from our initial contact. He was very informative regarding the type of sod that would be suitable for my yard without attempting to upsell to what considered “designer sod”. Alex also addressed the drainage issues in my yard along with the sod installation. His communication throughout the process and post installation were excellent. The added value of of the customer service and the quality of the work performed made Green Flower Landscaping the best value for this job."

"Hired to install sod for back yard of our new build. Pleasant to work with, incredibly fast response time! Sod was installed while dormant in January but has greened up beautifully by March! Would use their services again."

"Elite Arborist went above and beyond to seeing my landscaping needs were met! Allow me to jumped at the chance to write an honest review showcasing this company’s dedication and attention to customer detail. Carlos took pride in ensuring the highest quality materials were used to beautify our home! He was particularly eager to reflect/incorporate my wife’s personal creative touch while professionally enhancing the natural outdoor space of our dreams. ELITE ARBORIST was also generous in allowing me a grace period to pay in full with three weekly installments. Finally, my wife adds, “Thank you for your meticulous care in our lawn installation. Suggesting the flower bed detail reflects your dedication and skills.” Jas Jam"

"Juan Garcia did a fantastic job on installing sod and additional sprinkler lines in our yard. He also fixed a leak we had with one of our existing sprinkler lines. From initial estimate to the finished work, he was very responsive, super friendly and extremely knowledgeable, answering all of my questions. I highly recommend and we will definitely use him in the future. Thanks, Juan!"

"Gil at Epic Lawn care was courteous, professional and a pleasure to deal with. His crew, led by Rafael, is the best. Very thorough in the prep of the yard. 17 pallets of sod. First, they tilled the soil, then too soil, then laid and rolled the sod. At the end, Rafael helped tune the sprinkler system and drainage to ensure a good install. All in all, excellent work at a competitive price. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"Needed a barbed wire fence installed between my neighbor and I, with corner and center supports. Only about 230 total feet. Hector and his crew showed up that morning when promised and got to work. They finished that afternoon and the fence was perfect. They did an exceptional job! I would not hesitate to recommend HM Services! In fact I will be using them in the future!"

"Gerardo and crew did great work. There was a lot of rain the day before the install, but they came out and determined the area was dry enough to do the work. The sod turned out great."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Mckinney, 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.
