"Incredibly detailed work whether this is removing rocks that we didn't know was underneath the original yard or shaping the sod to exactly fit the curves of the sidewalk."

"Forevergreen 2 Landscaping did a great job. We are extremely happy with their work. They replaced all the old grass and weeds, front and back yards, with sod; replaced all the old plants and shrubs in the front and back flower beds with the new ones we had requested; put in a 4 station sprinkler system; replaced the old retaining wall with new limestone blocks; and put in limestone trim around three of our front yard trees. Everything was done just as we requested. Great job. Highly recommend Forevergreen 2 Landscaping."

"All of the people from Dreamyards were very professional, on time and did a great job. They accidentally cut a electrical wire to my tiny office in my backyard and came back immediately after hours to fix it quickly. They installed more sprinkler heads then I expected and my yard will never be dry again after this install. They talked me through how to use the system and how to hook it up to an app on my phone. I would recommend and use them again for future landscaping projects."

"Miguel did a phenomenal job! An arborist with extensive experience, he expertly raised tree canopies, artistically trimmed a troublesome bush, and cleared unwanted branches that were over the house and chimney. Hire him today. Best of the best!!!"

"Steve and his crew were fantastic! We first met Steve late last year, he came by to look at what we would like to have done and was back the next day to review his design and price with us. We had contacted two other companies for additional comparisons and bids, it took them weeks to get back to us. After finally getting bids back from the other two companies, we decided to go with Sierra Landscape. Steve let us know when he first came out that they had a backlog and it would be late December or early January before they could get started. He contacted us again in early January to inform us they were still running behind due to all the rain we had received. Since we were not in a big hurry, this was fine with us. They got started last week and completed the work today. We are very happy with the design and plants. The crew was very professional, kept us informed and worked hard each day. We could not be happier!"

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.
