Thinking about getting a new lawn but not sure what the sod installation process looks like? You’re not alone. Many homeowners know they want a fresh, green yard—but they’re unsure what actually happens when the pros show up.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through what to expect during professional sod installation so you can feel confident about transforming your lawn with Texas Sod Pros.

🚛 Step 1: Free Estimate & Site Assessment

Every great sod project starts with a proper plan. At Texas Sod Pros, we begin with a free estimate and an on-site consultation. During this step, we:

• Assess the size and condition of your lawn
• Identify any drainage or soil issues
• Recommend the best sod type for your yard’s sunlight and foot traffic levels

This ensures your new lawn is both beautiful and built to last.

🧹 Step 2: Lawn & Debris Removal

Before installing sod, the old lawn must go. Our team removes existing grass, weeds, rocks, and any debris that could get in the way of root growth. This clean slate is essential for your new sod to take root properly.

🌱 Step 3: Soil Preparation & Grading

Next comes soil prep, one of the most important steps in sod installation. We:

• Loosen and level the soil
• Add compost or soil amendments (if needed)
• Grade the surface for proper drainage

This step helps ensure your sod establishes healthy roots quickly and evenly.

📦 Step 4: Fresh Sod Delivery & Installation

We only use fresh, farm-direct sod for every project. Once your lawn is prepped, we carefully lay the sod strips in staggered rows, like bricks, for a seamless look. We:

• Press the sod firmly into the soil for root contact
• Trim edges to fit walkways, flower beds, and curves
• Ensure no air pockets remain beneath the sod

Professional sod installation ensures tight seams, level placement, and immediate visual impact.

💧 Step 5: Watering & Aftercare Instructions

Right after installation, your new sod needs water—lots of it. We’ll advise you on:

• How much and how often to water
• When to mow your new lawn
• How to keep foot traffic off until roots take hold

Proper watering is crucial for the success of your new lawn, and we make sure you’re set up for success.
