New Sod Installation in South Austin, Buda & Kyle

Whether you are covering a builder's bare lot or repairing a lawn that has lost the fight, new sod gives you an established lawn right away. The trick is choosing the right variety and prepping the ground for it.

  • Grass matched to your yard: St. Augustine for shade, Bermuda for sun, Zoysia for durability
  • Real soil prep and grading so the sod actually takes root
  • Clean seams and edges for a finished look from day one
  • Watering guidance for our climate and your water provider's rules
Sod Installation

New sod in the Austin area usually fails for one reason: poor prep on compacted clay or rock. We loosen and grade the base, add soil where the builder left none, and lay tight, staggered seams so the lawn knits together instead of drying out at the edges.

Choosing the right grass matters just as much. St. Augustine handles the shade under live oaks, Bermuda takes full sun and heavy use, and Zoysia gives a dense, durable lawn in between. We will recommend what will do well on your lot and walk you through the first weeks of watering within your city's current watering stage.

Answers

Sod Installation: common questions

What kind of grass is best for my yard?
It comes down to sun and use. Shady, oak covered yards want St. Augustine. Sunny open lots do best with Bermuda. Heavy traffic areas favor Zoysia. We look at your conditions before we recommend anything.
When is the best time to lay sod?
Spring through early fall, while the grass is actively growing and can root before winter. Summer installs are fine with diligent watering, and we will set you up with a schedule.
How soon can I walk on new sod?
Keep foot traffic light for the first two to three weeks while the roots establish. We will give you clear care instructions for that period.
