Is the right time to plant sod again? YES! Sod installed from 169 per pallet - St Augustine Raleigh Lawn Grass

With the Summer coming to an end - Houston TX is ready to look back out doors and look at your landscape. Dead sod should be removed completely - the ground made level - adding a bit or organics or soil conditioner is always recommended - prior to the installation of new lawn turf

We arrange for our own freight and buy the sod directly from the farm - Farm Fresh Quality sod makes a difference in the long term performance of your new lawn

One pallet covers 450 sq ft - we have a two pallet minimum and some service area exceptions

Is it the right time of year to plant sod in Houston TX [2015]?

Hello Houston, Jeremy Goldstein+ here manager of Heights Hauling and Landscape. We are Houston's premier sod installation contractor. We specialize in laying fresh, green, quality sod in Houston TX. The most common type of sod installed in town is St Augustine Raleigh sod.

We are now in Sept and its still over 95 degrees most days. Is it too hot to install a new St Augustine lawn?
The simplest answer is no it not too hot to install sod.

 However, with the hot and dry conditions the sod will need to be watered quite a bit. We recommend newly installed sod be watered about 30 min two times a day - both early - about one hour before sunrise and again in the late cooler part of the afternoon - say 6 pm ish. This heavy watering will take out the air pockets and help set the sod into the soil or what some people call the friable seed bed.

After about ten [5] days of heavy water, its time to dry up the sod a bit. This second phase, backing down the water to about 20 - 30 min one time a day in the morning, again about 1 hour before sunrise, will force the sod to start putting out roots. Sod laid in area's that are shady will need less water and take longer to root.

Maintenance watering varies based on many conditions. Normal maintenance watering is 2 or 3 x a week for about 15 min. Best time to water varies based on the time of year but other than the coldest months it should be before sunrise. In the coldest months of the year it can be post sun rise but before 10 am

we never recommend watering sod every day after the initial watering in period
we never recommend watering at night. Night watering promotes fungus of all kinds

We install several different types of sod that are great for Houston's climate.
Raleigh St Augustine is a good all around grass and is the most economical
Palmetto St Augustine is a more shade tolerant sod
Bermuda [Celebration] is a fine bladed sod that is more drought tolerant - can handle more traffic with less wear and does well in both light shade and full sun
Zoysia [Emerald] is a fine bladed sod that is soft - slow growing. This sod is more expensive and requires a bit of specialized care but its worth it.
