"New Ground Services did an excellent job of resetting my pavers around my pool that had settled over time. The decking looks new again. They also repaired a leak in a pool water pipe as well as cleaned out underground drainage pipes in the yard. The crew of 5 completed these jobs in one day. Supervisor Caesar was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Price was reasonable. I highly recommend this company."

"After reviewing, researching and getting quotes from numerous sprinkler/landscape companies over the last few months, I settled on Valentin Enviro Irrigation and Landscape to install a new sprinkler system in my front and back yards where there had been no system. The end result and install experience was exceptional to say the least. From the conscientious of Angelica in the office to the skill and attention to detail of Alex and his crew I was impressed and confident from the beginning to the end that the job was being done right and thoroughly. When they left my yard and flower beds were put back together carefully and beautifully and the sprinkler heads were covering all of my yard and flower bed just as I imagined. I watched Alex adjust each head while running to the exact pattern. I am confident that I can count on this company to come back and winterize my system next fall and also do some landscaping work this spring as needed. "

FAQs for sod installation projects in Splendora, 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.
