FAQ

Who do we sell to?

We sell to the general public, landscapers and home builders.

Can I lay sod year round?

Yes, although your winter months the sod will more than likely be dormant, it is still safe to lay sod year round. The roots remain active even when the sod is dormant, it will still root down; they are just at a slower rate during the winter months. Please remember you still need to water new sod during the winter months.

How many Sq. Ft are on a pallet?

Each pallet covers 450 Sq. Ft. or 50 Yards. Each pallet has 168 pieces on a pallet.

Which type of sod is recommended for full sun?

Any sod we sell will do fine in full sun as that is how it is grown at the farm. Zeon Zoysia and Tif Tuf Bermuda are the most popular and will take less water than other varieties.

Which type of sod is recommended for shade?

We recommend Zoysia or Palmetto St. Augustine sod for shady areas.

Which type of sod is recommended for heavy traffic?

We would recommend Celebration Bermuda because of its recovery time.

How often do I need to water my new sod?

We recommend you water three times a day during the hotter months morning, noon and evening, with the morning watering being the most important. Your new sod needs to stay wet but not soaked, to help promote root growth.

Should I fertilize my new sod once I get it down?

We do not recommend fertilizing when you first get your new sod because the farm has already fertilized it for you. We recommend waiting at least 2 months before adding any fertilizer.

How long do I have to lay my new sod?

Your new sod should be installed the day you get it, especially during the hotter months. If you do not get it down that day, you take a chance of it turning yellow. Although no one wants yellow grass, the grass is still alive, the roots will remain active but you should lay it as soon as possible and put plenty of water on it.

How long before I can mow my new sod?

We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks before mowing your new sod.

How long after installing sod should you wait to walk on the new sod?

If you must walk on it immediately, you can do that but if it is too wet, you will end up leaving tracks through your new sod. It is recommended to wait a couple of weeks before walking on it so the roots have time to become established.

Do you sell pieces or partial pallets of sod?

We do not generally sell pieces or partial pallets. During the Spring me might be able to accommodate this as other customers are looking for a partial pallet also.

Which type of sod does well in this area?

Each type of sod that we sell is grown in this area or South Texas and does well in this area.
