"They were quick to respond and scheduled the sod installation within a few days. M & M Lawn Care did an excellent job of clearing the area, preparing and laying down the grass. It was done in less then 1 day. Great job!"

"Abel and his team did a great job! They installed a new sprinkler system in my front yard in under a day and did such a good job of restoring the sod that you can barely tell they had to dig it all up. I highly recommend these guys."

"I was extremely pleased with the finished job. I love my lights!!! Illuminart came out and I explained to them what I wanted. They made suggestions and placed temporary lights so I could see what the finished job would be. I was able to make changes before the final installation. John and his crew were wonderful to work with. Always responded very quickly when I called and they definitely want you to be pleased with the finished job. Awesome customer service!!"

"My front yard was washing away. The front yard tree roots and the sprinkler system lines were exposed. The cut out the sections of roots that could have compromised those pipes running throughout the front (sprinkler lines). My sprinklerâ s main box was not working, and they were able to replace that, and replace missing sprinkler heads and one leaking sprinkler head. The main guy set up the sprinkler system for me so the lawn will be watered at specific times and days so the new sod will grow and be healthy, and stay as beautiful as it was when they finished. They were here to start the job at 7:30am, and finished about 4:00pm. Great worker, and I have my beautiful yard back! Very pleased with their work and finished product!! ð"

"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."

FAQs for sod installation projects in The Colony, 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.
