The Grounds Guys of McKinney install sod for homeowners in Gunter, Weston, and Celina, TX. Our team will keep you informed throughout the sod installation process and answer any questions you may have. Once we arrive at your home, we will follow this process:

    • Remove old grass and weeds from the soil

    • Set up sprinklers or irrigation to make sure the sod gets plenty of water

How to Care for Fresh Sod

After our professionals install sod at your home, you will need to follow some sod care tips. Fresh sod needs a different type of maintenance routine than a traditional lawn does. Avoid having a picnic on your new lawn or creating perfect mow lines. Follow these steps to ensure your fresh sod lawn becomes healthy and attractive:

Week One

  • Avoid overwatering your sod, but be sure you don’t allow the sod to dry out. You’ll want to water your sod three or four times a day for five to ten minutes at a time.
  • Do not water your sod in the evening. Get all of your watering done before sundown.
  • Do not walk on your new sod lawn for at least two weeks. Foot traffic can cause problems for fresh sod.

Week Two

  • Water your sod lawn for 30 minutes a day. You can split this up into two 15-minute sessions if needed.

Week Three & Beyond

  • After your new sod lawn has been in place for three weeks, you can mow it. Keep your mower deck high, and do not mow more than one-third of the length of the grass blades.
  • After your sod lawn has been installed for six weeks, you will want to fertilize it.
