FAQ
Straight answers
about sod.
Pallet math, timing, watering, and what happens on install day. If it isn’t here, call and ask.
Ask us anythingHow much sod do I need?
One pallet covers 450 square feet. Measure the lawn you actually want grass on, subtract beds, driveways, and patios, divide by 450, and round up. Add 5% for trimming around curves. Our satellite measuring tool does the math for you.
How fast can you deliver?
Sod normally reaches your driveway 24 to 48 hours from the cut. Sod is cut to order: we schedule the cut when you order, the farm cuts at first light, and it’s on the truck to you from there. Rain can push a cut back a day or two, and we text you the moment we know. Order by Wednesday for the weekend.
Which sod is right for my yard?
Bermuda for full sun and heavy traffic, St. Augustine for shade under mature trees, Zoysia for a soft, premium lawn in mixed light. Mixed-light yards often get two: Bermuda on the sunny side and St. Augustine under the trees.
When is the best time to install sod in DFW?
Late March through October, once soil temperatures pass 60°F. The sweet spots are April through early June and September through mid-October. Sod laid in winter sits dormant until spring.
Do you install sod too?
Yes. Order delivery only, or let our local crew handle prep, install, and rolling, with watering guidance for after. We recommend installing sod only where irrigation is close at hand and available for use.
How do I water new sod?
Check beneath the sod and keep the root zone moist without saturation. Adjust watering to weather and rooting progress, within your water provider’s current rules and any approved allowance. Read the watering guide.
Do I need topsoil?
If your subsoil is compacted clay or new-construction fill, yes. An inch of topsoil across the lawn is about one cubic yard per 324 square feet. Sod laid on prepped soil roots in 10 to 14 days; sod laid on clay can take a month.
How heavy is a pallet?
Confirm the loaded pallet weight before pickup. Check your vehicle’s loading label, rated payload, and axle limits, including passengers, equipment, and other cargo. Truck class does not establish safe pallet capacity. Choose delivery if capacity is uncertain.

All of Dallas-Fort Worth, including Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington, Plano, Mansfield, and the surrounding suburbs.
