Sod Installation
Fresh Sod Installation — An Instant, Lush Lawn
From soil prep to the final roll, we deliver a show-worthy lawn in a single day. Professional sod installation with a healthy-root guarantee.
Why Sod Beats Seed
Seed takes months and fights weeds the entire way. Fresh sod gives you a mature, root-ready lawn the same day we install it — no muddy sprout phase, no guesswork.
Calderon Lawn Services handles the entire process: variety selection, old-lawn removal, soil prep and grading, fresh-cut sod delivery, and a detailed watering plan to get your new grass rooted fast.
Sod Varieties We Install
We help you choose the right grass for your soil, sun exposure, and how you actually use your lawn. Popular varieties for North Texas properties:
- Bermuda — heat- and drought-tolerant, bounces back from traffic
- Zoysia — dense, carpet-like feel with shade tolerance
- St. Augustine — lush blades, excellent for shadier yards
- Fescue — cool-season option for transition-zone properties

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does sod cost per square foot?
Installed sod typically runs $1.50–$3.00 per square foot in the North Texas market depending on variety, site prep, and yard accessibility. We give you a firm written quote before starting.
When is the best time to install sod in North Texas?
Early spring and early fall are ideal, but with proper watering we successfully install sod year-round in DFW. We’ll tell you honestly if we’d recommend waiting a few weeks.
How soon can I walk on my new lawn?
Light foot traffic is fine after about 2 weeks. Full use — including kids and pets — after 3–4 weeks once the roots are anchored.
How often should I water new sod?
Two to three short waterings a day for the first 10 days, tapering to normal watering over 3 weeks. We leave a detailed schedule at install and check in at 30 days.
Do you remove the old lawn for me?
Yes — full removal and haul-away of the existing turf is included in every install.
Do you offer a warranty?
We guarantee healthy, rooted sod at our 30-day check-in, assuming the provided watering schedule was followed. Any issues on our end, we fix at no cost.
