"I was impressed with Alex from our initial contact. He was very informative regarding the type of sod that would be suitable for my yard without attempting to upsell to what considered “designer sod”. Alex also addressed the drainage issues in my yard along with the sod installation. His communication throughout the process and post installation were excellent. The added value of of the customer service and the quality of the work performed made Green Flower Landscaping the best value for this job."

"After talking to six other companies, I decided to give Elite Arborist a try. Carlos came out to give an estimate on laying new sod and redoing the stonework around a tree in my front yard. He was punctual and listened carefully to what I wanted. He told me all the things his company does and how they could make my vision a reality. We ended up agreeing to the work as well as pruning the large oak tree we have. On the day of the project, the sod was delivered 6:30 a.m. and the crew arrived an hour later. I was impressed how they put out orange cones around the area for neighbors’ visual safety. Carlos introduced me to the crew supervisor, Rocky. Throughout the day, Rocky kept me informed about what they were doing and progress. He patiently answered all my questions and reassured me that I would be pleased with the results. I was very impressed with the attention to detail to the stonework around the tree, the meticulous way they prepped to lay the sod and the expertise of tree pruning. They took great care in making sure they left may yard and surrounding areas, i.e., street very clean. By the end of the day, my front yard was transformed and had great curb appeal. Plus, the Oak tree really stands out. Carlos also sent me information on after care and fertilization of the sod. I’m very happy with the results. I paid a little more than I expected but it was well worth it. When it comes to landscaping professionals, Elite Arborist is the company you need. These guys are fantastic. They have a true passion for what they do and are very professional. I highly recommend this company. Their work is top notch."

"Awesome experience. Called Gerardo and he came the next day. I could tell from the start that he was very professional, knowledgeable and thorough. We agreed on the price on the spot to rebuild my front curbing, add pavers to my gate entrance, re-sod the front yard and install astro turf in my back yard. They started within a few days and had the entire job finished in a week. Gerardo spent much personal time on the job to explain to me the steps and make sure the job was done right. He ensured that the curbing had rebar and all the materials picked out were the perfect color. All of the workers were efficient and clean up each day. I couldn't even get an appointment in the time it took Green Stone to finish my entire job. I work in supply chain for a living so I don't through around praise often, but I was happy with every step of the process and the pricing was spot on. Highly recommended!"

"They went above and beyond the norm in the sod installation. Doing such things as straightening and rearranging landscape rocks and edging and fixing sprinklers. Very easy to work with and have a high degree of confidence in the quality of the work."

"Abel was on time and very efficient in his work. We asked Abel to replace our backyard lawn with new sod. Abel came with one of his workers and the lawn looks great. We were so impressed with their work that we had them do some additional work on our sprinkler system. I will be calling Abel for all my future landscaping needs."

"I was very pleased with the services they provided. They gave me a fair quote for removing bermuda grass and installing palisade soyzia grass sod in my main front lawn. I also asked them to install two 2 gallon shurbs which they did well. I would certinaly hire them again. The two men who did the work were excellent. Barry Hampson"

FAQs for sod installation projects in Dallas, 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.
