How a Sod Installation Works

New sod only looks as good as the ground under it. This is the order of work on a typical Arlington job:

  1. Measure and plan. We measure the area, check sun and shade, and look at where water flows after rain.
  2. Remove the old lawn. Dead grass, weeds and roots are cut out with a sod cutter and hauled away.
  3. Grade and level. The soil is shaped to slope away from your foundation, and low spots are filled.
  4. Add topsoil. A layer of screened topsoil gives new roots something better than packed clay to grow into.
  5. Lay the sod. Pieces go down in a staggered, brick-like pattern with tight seams and trimmed edges.
  6. Roll and water. The sod is rolled for good soil contact and soaked the same day. You get a simple watering schedule for the first weeks.

Most average yards are done in a single day. Want to know what your yard would cost? See our sod installation cost guide.

Questions

Sod Installation FAQ

What's the average price for sod installation in Arlington, TX?

Most installed sod jobs in the Arlington area run typically from about $1.50 per square foot, including prep. A small front yard often lands between about $1,200 and $2,500. Shade, slopes, old-lawn removal and how much soil is needed change the price. See the full sod installation cost guide.

What is the best time of year to lay sod in Texas?

Spring through early fall, when the soil is warm and the grass is actively growing. Late spring is ideal. Summer installs work but need more watering in the first weeks. Sod laid in winter is dormant (brown) and greens up in spring.

Can I just lay sod over dirt?

Sod needs bare, loose, level soil. Laying it over packed clay, rocks or old grass is the most common reason new sod dies or stays patchy. Clearing, loosening and adding topsoil first is what makes it root.

How long until I can walk on new sod?

Keep heavy traffic off for about two weeks while the roots grab hold. You can mow once the sod is rooted, usually after two to three weeks.

How much water does new sod need?

Water daily for the first one to two weeks so the soil under the sod stays moist, then cut back as roots take hold. Check Arlington's current watering rules before you set your sprinkler schedule.
