"I used H&H Escobar Property Services based on their excellent reviews. I’m glad I did! I was needing old sod removed and new sod installed. They responded immediately and were very knowledgeable. I was at work while they were doing the job and they stayed in constant contact with me by sending pics of the progress. I highly recommend using them and look forward to using them in the future."

"It went extremely well.Mariisno did a great of explaining to us what we were getting.Actually, we had some that was cheaper by 300 dollars.. just irrigation was the company.We decided to go with Mariano because of his knowledge and integrity.. The workers were also great.. It’s only been a couple of days but things appear to be working fine.. The workers cleaned up behind themselves . You really couldn’t tell that they had dug up the yard.I will definitely recommend Mariano Cruz."

"They are very friendly and the service is prompt. They clean up after their work and keep in touch if there is any delay. They replaced some fence and repaired some as well as build a new gate for me. I'm impressed with the overall experience and would gladly use them again. Oh yes...the price was well within my budget and very reasonable for the quality delivered."

"We have used Edwin for the past 8 years for all of our lawn and landscaping needs. He’s great! He has done a variety of tasks for us from landscaping and lighting to sprinkler, drainage system and installed a fountain in our backyard. He is very knowledgeable and always does a thorough job. It’s so nice to have someone who can do all our landscaping needs without having to find multiple sources. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Richmond, 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.
