frequently asked questions
How many square feet does your pallet cover?
Each pallet of our premium grass covers approximately 450 square feet, making it easy to estimate how much you’ll need for your project.
How many pieces are on a pallet?
A full pallet includes around 169 individual pieces, perfectly sized for quick installation and a smooth, even finish.
How much does a pallet weigh?
Each pallet weighs between 2,300 and 2,700 pounds, depending on the grass variety and moisture level at harvest.
How soon should I lay the grass after delivery?
For best results, lay your grass as soon as possible after harvest. Summer: within 24 hours | Cooler months: within 3 days
Prompt installation ensures your grass stays fresh and roots properly.
What is the size of a block?
Each piece of sod measures 16 inches by 24 inches, making it manageable to handle and easy to fit together seamlessly.
How should I prepare the ground?
How much should I water the newly laid grass?
For the first two weeks, water daily until the soil feels soft and squishy. Early morning watering is ideal.
After the first couple of weeks, gradually reduce watering to about 1 inch per week, allowing the lawn to dry slightly between waterings.
When should I fertilize the grass?
Your new sod already comes pre-fertilized at harvest, so you can wait 2–3 months before applying fertilizer again. This gives the roots time to settle and start growing strong.
How much fertilizer do I use?
The amount varies depending on the grass variety, time of year, and soil condition. For best results, follow soil test recommendations specific to your yard.
What kind of fertilizer do I use?
We recommend using a balanced fertilizer that matches your soil test results. A good nutrient balance supports healthy growth and color year-round
What if I have animals in my yard?
We suggest keeping animals off newly laid grass for a few weeks. Pet traffic can damage tender roots and create bare spots before the grass is fully established.
When should I mow my new lawn for the first time?
Wait 2–3 weeks after installation, or until the grass has started to take root and grow actively. Always mow with sharp blades and avoid cutting off more than one-third of the grass height at a time.
How should I lay the grass?
Lay the grass in a brick-like pattern, staggering the seams so they don’t line up. Place each piece snugly against the next for tight seams and even growth.
Can I lay the grass on top of my current lawn?
No. For proper rooting, the soil beneath the sod must make direct contact with the soil in your yard. Be sure to remove any existing grass before laying your new sod.
What grass will grow under a large tree or in a shaded area?
For shaded yards or areas under large trees, St. Augustine or medium-bladed Zoysia varieties perform best. However, all grasses need at least 3–4 hours of filtered sunlight daily. If heavy shade persists, consider thinning tree limbs, removing the tree, or planting a shade-tolerant groundcover like ivy.
At what height should I mow my grass?
Mowing height depends on the grass variety, season, and mowing frequency. As a rule of thumb, never remove more than one-third of the blade height at a time to keep your lawn lush and healthy.
When’s the best time of year to plant grass?
Here in Texas, you can plant sod year-round! However, avoid planting just before or during freezing temperatures to protect your new lawn’s root system.
