The honest version
No fine print, just how the grass gets from a field to your yard, why rain and heat get a vote, and why our delivery promise is two days instead of one.
Our promise
Cut yesterday.
Here today.
The whole trip, start to finish. Every step below is a day or two of real work by real people, which is why the honest promise is two days, not one.
Sod isn’t sitting in a warehouse. It’s grass, growing in a field north and south of DFW for a year or more before anyone touches it.
When you order, we schedule the cut. Early the next morning a harvester slices it off the field in strips, it gets stacked and strapped on a pallet, and it rides into town on a flatbed. What lands on your driveway was growing in dirt about 24 hours earlier. That’s the whole point.
Order → we book the cut → the farm cuts at first light → it’s loaded → it’s trucked to you. Two days is the honest number for most orders. Sometimes it’s faster and we’ll happily surprise you. We would rather promise two days and beat it than promise one and text you an apology.
Order by Wednesday and you’ll have it for the weekend.
A harvester can’t cut a wet field. The blades gum up, the strips fall apart, and the truck leaves ruts in the farm. After a good rain, the farm waits a day or two for the ground to firm up.
So a Tuesday storm can push a Wednesday cut to Thursday or Friday. When that happens we text you the moment we know, not the morning of. Light rain on delivery day is fine and even helps; a yard that’s underwater is a problem for the forklift, and we’ll talk it through.
In summer a stacked pallet starts cooking from the middle within a day. The outside looks fine; the inside yellows. Plan to install within 24 hours of delivery, and if you can’t, keep the stack in shade and mist it.
We won’t drop sod on a Friday for a Sunday install in August. We’ll tell you that and move the date.
From about November to March, Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine go dormant and tan. Winter sod arrives looking like a doormat. It’s alive, the roots are fine, and it greens up in April once the soil warms. It just takes longer to knit, so water lightly and be patient.
You get a morning or afternoon window and a text when the truck is close. The driver sets pallets on the driveway or curb with a forklift; they can’t go into the backyard or across a soft lawn. Clear the spot and leave the gate off the list.
Nobody has to be home. If you want the pallets somewhere specific, tell Rolly or put it in the notes and we’ll do our best.
*Sod is cut to order, so it’s 48 hours from your order to your driveway most of the time. Rain and heat get a vote.
Tell us about your yard. Rolly or a real person will check the cut schedule and give you a straight date.
Cut to order.
