If you’re planning to get fresh sod installed, you’re probably wondering what to expect. At Texas Sod Pros, we take pride in making the process smooth, professional, and stress-free for homeowners.

Whether you’re replacing an old lawn or starting from scratch, here’s a step-by-step look at what happens during your sod installation appointment—and how we help set your lawn up for long-term success.

1. Site Preparation

Before we lay a single piece of sod, we properly prep your yard to ensure great results. That includes:

• Removing old grass, weeds, and debris
• Loosening compacted soil with specialized tools
• Grading for proper drainage to prevent pooling
• Adding topsoil or amendments if needed for healthy root growth

Proper soil prep is key—this is what helps sod root quickly and grow evenly.

2. Measuring and Cutting

Every yard is unique, and we take precise measurements to ensure your sod fits perfectly. We’ll cut and shape each piece to hug curves, edges, garden beds, and walkways for a seamless look.

3. Laying the Sod

Once the area is prepped and measured, it’s time to roll out the green. We install sod in a staggered pattern (like bricks) to minimize seams and reduce erosion.

As we lay it down, we:

• Press each piece for tight contact with the soil
• Avoid overlaps or gaps
• Trim edges for a clean, professional finish

4. Watering and Rolling

After the sod is installed, we water it immediately to help roots begin bonding with the soil. Then we use a roller to press the sod down firmly, ensuring no air pockets remain underneath.

5. Post-Installation Instructions

We don’t just install and leave—we set you up for success. You’ll get detailed instructions on:

• How often and how much to water
• When to mow your new lawn
• What signs to look for during rooting
• Ongoing care tips to keep it thriving

We’re also available to answer questions anytime after the install.

6. Clean-Up and Final Walkthrough

We leave your property clean and your lawn picture-perfect. Before we go, we’ll walk the area with you, answer questions, and make sure you’re 100% satisfied with the results.
