"Great. We had a consultation and described our vision for what we wanted (more color, something to make the back yard look less empty). We also had a few specific little problems like straightening our juniper that got knocked askew during Harvey. Alvin provided us with a detailed estimate. It did not have pictures but for me it was descriptive enough so that pictures were not needed. When we approved the estimate, Universal came in soon thereafter and completed the work in two days (including throwing in the little extras like our juniper situation). They also had someone check and adjust our sprinklers to make sure the new plants will get the water they need. The landscaping looks so good. We previously had a few rocks around our front flower beds; they brought in a lot more to line and raise the beds (which makes them look so much nicer), and added mulch as well as new plants. They also used our existing plants that still had life to them (they got rid of the dying ones per our request) and transplanted some of them to other areas in the yard. They installed a new flower bed behind the pool. Per our request, they planted some plants along the fence line to dress it up a little without obstructing the view behind our fence. They chose dwarf crepe myrtles, which I am excited about as a crepe myrtle fan. I can't stop wandering around my yard admiring everything. Of course, some of the plants (like the new dwarf crepe myrtles) are new and small, and will grow out over time, so I know it will look even better in the future. We are very happy, 100% satisfied."

"They do very fine work! The dig a deep trench down the side of my lawn, under the sidewalk, and on to the street to install a large pvc pipe. They re-installed the grass over the trench, and left NO trace that anything had even happened! Their pricing was very reasonable."

"Greenpath Landscapes did 3 jobs for me so far ! I reached out to Daniel and over because his work is just above and beyond. First was just a phone call to see who would move my sprinkler head for me - just needed one head moved. Even though Daniel is far from me ( am located in Baytown) He drove all the way just to move my one sprinkler head for me since I Was extending my patio. Excellent experience . He also pointed out yo my and educated me on my drainage system in my backyard . He wanted me to make sure I donâ t put the slab over the drainage â ¦. That was a free and caring advise from him even though he was not hired for the slab project ( only because I did not know if his company was into adding concrete ) So when I had drainage issue because my backyard is sloping in towards my patio and on rainy days water is not draining well, I called Daniel and he executed the project better than What I had anticipated . He was on time , brought all Supplies and figured the best efficient way to Place the pipes for max drainage and efficiency . Once completed he hoses my lawn ( made it rain. ) and double checked that the system in place was indeed working . Even sent me a videoâ ¦.. While he was there I showed him my busted wooden fence and also Asked for his help on securing my fence so my little 4 pound dog dies not escape from under the fence ! Wallahhhhh Daniel was there with wooden 2 x4 and solved the problem ! I was ecstatic because it gave me so much confidence that I can leave my doggy outside now and then without worrying Such a great feeling Such a great job And finally he will be back later in Feb 2023 to put sod on my grass where he accessed drainage He will make my yard green and safe and beautiful. I guess I wonâ t be hiring anyone else for my landscaping etc Very happy with Greenpath landscaping and their excellent exceptional service and attention to details . Also Daniel is a thoughtful caring guy who cares about the folks who hire him- he gives more and so one wants to hire him every time because he comes through every time and leaves you a happy customer ! Not to mention he sends you professional invoice etc Very very impressed . And he always gets back to you for job updates and progress . Very well rounded caring professional service !!!! Reach out to Daniel !"

"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."

"These guys absolutely knocked it out of the park! The new sod looks incredible, and the sprinkler system upgrades have made a huge difference in coverage and water efficiency. They were professional, punctual, and clearly cared about doing the job right. My yard looks better than it ever has, and I've already received compliments from neighbors. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality lawn and irrigation work. Five stars all the way!"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Sugar Land, 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.
