Sod is a great way to establish a new lawn on your property in Texas. It can instantly give you beautiful green grass, but you want to follow certain steps to ensure its success. First, you want to ensure the sod you use is of high quality and is known to grow well in your area so it can easily adapt to the environmental conditions it will be subjected to. You'll also want to add soil to the area before installing the sod to ensure the site is level and will provide conducive growing conditions for your new lawn to develop strong roots. Once the sod has been installed, it's important that you continue supporting its development by following a strict watering schedule.

Make sure you use good quality sod to get the best results.

The key to achieving success when using sod for your new lawn is to use a high-quality product. There are various types of sod, so you want to make sure you are using a type that is of the highest quality. You'll want to use a sod that comes with a thick layer of soil and lush and dense grass blades. Aside from the quality of the sod, you'll also want to use a grass type that suits the weather conditions in your area. In Texas, zoysia, bermudagrass, and St. Augustine are all good types of sod to use.

Add soil before installing sod on your property.

Aside from the quality of the sod you will use for establishing your new lawn, you also want to ensure the installation process is done right. While sod is already pre-grown grass and will look beautiful instantly, installing it properly is still crucial. Before installing sod, you'll want to put down soil in your yard to prepare the site for your new lawn. This will help fill in any low points on your property to ensure the area is level and create a nice, even lawn. However, don't just use any soil. You want to spread a premium soil mix that does well in your area to provide an ideal environment for the sod to take root and thrive.

Preparing the site properly before installing sod ensures the grass can establish its roots and continue to grow into the thick and verdant lawn you're aiming for.

Support your sod's growth after installation by following a strict watering schedule.

Once the sod has been installed, the work is not done. Following a strict watering schedule is crucial after sod installation to keep your new lawn in top health. On the day of installation, you'll want to water your new lawn right after it is installed to prevent it from drying out. The first watering session should deeply soak the soil to help kickstart its root development. Then, for the next month or so, you'll need to water your lawn often to encourage the growth of deep roots, which will support your lawn's health through stressful conditions!

Keep off newly installed sod for the first month to prevent causing it any stress!
