"Our oak trees look great after their trim today. Our neighbor texted me to say "Your trees look amazing!" Miguel is highly skilled at tree trimming and tree climbing. As he was cutting up in our trees another man was cleaning up the debris below so it only took a few hours to complete the job with two very tall live oaks. They left our property clean and neat. Miguel seems very pleasant and professional and is licensed and insured. After they left I did find some small broken branches on our purple sage bushes by our mailbox where debris had apparently fell on them which is difficult to prevent when trimming up above. The bushes should be fine but maybe in the future if some type of enclosure could be put over smaller bushes like sage bushes and sego palms to protect them from falling tree debris and be sure to remove items like windchimes before cutting. Overall great service and will definitely hire him and his team again soon to remove some smaller trees in our backyard. "

"Mark and his team were superb with their installation of landscape stones/pavers for a portion of our back yard. The estimate was reasonable. The whole team was courteous and they completed the project in a timely manner. I highly recommend them for projects of this category!"

Customers say: Quality work

"The plants used were beat up and not in very good shape. So far they have survived but one tree looks like it might not make it. The irrigation didn't seem well thought out and multiple mistakes needed to be fixed. I asked Kevin to plant Esperanza plants with orange flowers and after the flowers bloomed yellow he stated he would send me a check for the plants. He never sent to check."

FAQs for sod installation projects in San Antonio, 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.
