"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."

"This was our second time using Pinckard Landscaping, and once again, it was truly a job well done. This time, we decided to have new landscaping installed in our front yard. We worked with Sandy and after meeting with us, discussing our preferences and taking meticulous measurements, she came back with a color rendering of her recommendations for the project. We made just a few adjustments and the work began the following week. The yard looks amazing!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Gerardo was quick to give us a quote and then quick to have his team over and get the work done trimming trees, pulling monster weeds, reconstructing flower beds, and hauling away all the debris. His team didn’t speak English, but they were still able to understand what we wanted and game to get it done on the spot. After some minor miscommunication about mulch, Gerardo readily outlined the options and then adjusted his schedule to get the work done promptly. My only regret is that we are moving and can’t hire GP again for more work."

"Very nice guy to work with but only completed one third of job promised. Two onsite visits prior to work commencement but was unable to complete entire back yard for agreed on price due to the clay composition of the ground.Did not till and level the back of yard. Only leveled and spread dirt on front third of the yard. Dirt that was due to be delivered mid-day but arrived at 9pm and driver drove over curb of my drive and cracked it."

"Jose delivered all he promised in our initial conversation: removed existing grass, prepped the soil including tilling, provided exceptional quality sod, precisely placed the sod, and rolled it. The crew was on time, very skilled, and thoroughly cleaned up when finished. Upon completion, Jose ran sprinkler system, made adjustments as needed, and recommended a watering schedule. Jose communicated promptly and took pride in providing outstanding customer service. The quality of sod installation exceeded my expectations!"

"We recently purchased a new home in Wylie, Texas and needed to hire a professional landscaper to keep our home within HOA regulations immediately. I called a dozen companies and ultimately selected to use Chance with LW Landscapes primarily because he provided a great quote, he was very professional and flexible with our schedule to mow and so far after two mows he has provided excellent work. I highly recommend his company for your Landscaping needs."

FAQs for sod installation projects in Mesquite, 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.
