Choose Your Grass Type
Our sod installation experts have many years of experience, and we work with only the highest quality of sod in the DFW area. We stick with this high quality, dependable sod provider because they offer the widest variety of types of grass (several different types of Bermuda, St. Augustine and Zoysia) and we never have any problem with weed or pest infestation when using this excellent sod.
Before sod of any type is installed, you will need to prep for sod installation.
Bermuda
Bermuda is a warm-season turfgrass that can withstand extreme heat and drought conditions. It also recovers quickly from foot traffic. Mow and fertilize on a regular basis.
This turfgrass is used residentially, as well as on golf courses and athletic fields. While Bermuda is one of the most common grass types grown in Texas; it is important to note that it is not shade-tolerant.
St. Augustine
St. Augustine is another popular warm-season grass. Differing from Bermuda grass, St. Augustine is highly tolerant of shade, some cultivars are more tolerant than others.
One big advantage to having St. Augustine grass is that this turfgrass is very drought-resistant. That is a huge plus, no matter where you live in Texas.
This turfgrass has deep roots which allow it to establish quickly.
Zoysia
The third type of turf we offer is Zoysia grass. Zoysia is often choosen for residential lawns because it is shade, drought, and cold tolerant.
It is well-known for being a versatile grass, as well as being easy-to-maintain. Zoysia turf has been used in the Olympics and during the World Cup in Korea because of its softness.
Sod Installation Tips
Whether you DIY it or call Ryno Lawn Care
- Measure, don’t guess how much sod you need
- Remove old grass and any weeds
- Prepare soil beforehand
- Make sure soil is moist prior to installation
- After installation, roll over pallets with a hand roller
- Call ahead to reserve sod
- Sod should be installed 36 hours after harvest
- Rake ground before sodding
- Lay the first pallet along a straight line, such as a driveway or sidewalk
- Place pallets tightly together
After Sod is Installed:
Water well every few days for 1-3 weeks. You want the soil moist, but not flooded.
Once the sod has established its roots, you may water less frequently and mow for the first time.
Try to lift up a corner of the sod. If you feel resistance, the roots have rooted. If you can pick it up easily, with no resistance, the roots haven’t fully developed.
After the sod has been installed for about 1 month, the grass will be ready to be fertilized for the first time.
Minimize foot traffic for 2-3 weeks after installation.
If Your New Sod Doesn't Look Like it Matches:
Sod takes time to decompress and even out
If your sod pallets have been unrolled in different directions, initially they will look different. The grass blades need time to stand up straight.
It could possibly be due to variations in fertilizer or water. The new sod will adjust and soon you’ll see a uniform look across your lawn.
Soil types can vary between sod pallets. After a few weeks all the soils will have blended together.
