Sod installation Spring 2015 - Is your yard a muddy mess? Sod and Drainage Experts in Houston TX

Hello Houston

Longer days and warmer temperatures are coming to town

The spring planting season is almost here for 2015

Its time to go outside and evaluate your yard for the coming warmer months

The biggest issues right now are drainage and dead grass

The heavy soil of Houston drains poorly when saturated with water by winter storms and cold temperatures - sod coming out of dormancy is not dead - and its way to early to fertilize

We install ST Augustine sod starting at 169 per pallet [delivery charges are extra and vary by location]

Ground prep is done prior to installation by using sharp shovels [best practices] removing the old dead turf and weeds and scaring the remaining surface soil

This is the best time to adjust the grade either by contouring the existing soil or by adding new enriched top soil -

Waste is hauled away and most of the time a soil conditioner added [we use gypsum or other organics]

Anyone recommending a starter fertilizer is doing you, the environment, and your new lawn a disservice at this time of year.

Post installation - Sod is watered in and rolled or tampered with a lawn roller
Do not skip this important step - setting the sod creates a bond between the underlying soil and the newly planted block sod - skipping this step can create an environment of lumps or at a worst case - air gaps that prevent the new sod from taking root
