Mid Cities Landscaping is one of the top providers for new grass or sod installation for residential homes in North Texas. Ultimately the decision to go with grass or sod really depends on your time frame. A seed or sprigged yard takes a significant amount of time to grow in (usually 12-18 months), leaving your yard looking bare and susceptible to soil erosion in heavy rains.
Sodding on the other hand is usually ready for normal activity after about two weeks, allowing it to be a fast lawn- planting option that adds immediate beauty to your home’s outdoor space.
Re-sodding your yard can be a big project, but Mid Cities Landscaping can take care of all of it! Before laying new sod, here are some of the items we take into consideration.
- Soil Preparation: It’s important to prepare the soil before laying new sod. We remove large rocks, debris, and old grass. We loosen the soil allowing the new grass to take root easily, creating a healthy base for your new yard.
- Timing: New sod can be installed year-round in North Texas. It may seem that early spring or during the fall is more optimal, but with fairly mild winters and proper watering in the heat of the summer, new sod can be put down any time of the year.
- Type of Sod: We help you choose the right type of sod for your yard based on the amount of sunlight and moisture it receives. Some types of sod are better suited to shade, while others can handle full sun. We evaluate your yard and can help guide you in the selection process.
After your new sod has been installed, it is important to keep it well-watered for the first few weeks. This allows the roots to establish a strong system. If you have a sprinkler system, we can help you set the best schedule for your new grass. If you don’t have one, this might be a good time to consider installing sprinkler system.
