Spring is finally come to Houston TX

This is the best time of year to install grass

one pallet of sod covers 450 sq ft of area - about 20 x 22 or 15 x 30

one yard of soil will cover 27 ft long by 3 or 4 ft wide by 3 or 4 inchs deep
or about less than an inch over the same area as one pallet

Is tilling needed?
In general we do not suggest the soil needs to be tilled
By adding a soil conditioner like Gypsum - the intense labor of tilling can be removed

We use sharp shovels and strong crew members to physically scrape up the old dead grass and weeds

the existing soil is raked using a hard rake

its ready for the new sod!

after sod is installed - it should be watered in and a lawn roller passed over the new plantings
this sets the sod to the soil and gives the sod a finished look
