Sod Installation in Temple, TX
A fresh, green lawn can completely change how your yard looks and feels. At Temple Landscape & Design, we make it easy to get that lush lawn fast with expert sod installation in Temple, Texas. Whether you’re replacing dead grass or starting from scratch, we’ll help you choose the right sod and install it with care so it roots quickly and grows strong.
Why Choose Sod Over Seeding?
Sod gives you an instant lawn—no waiting for grass to grow. It’s ideal for homeowners who want quick results, better weed control, and a thick, even surface. In Central Texas, our hot sun and tough soil can make seeding tricky. Sod solves that by providing mature grass with a built-in root system that adapts quickly to your yard.
How Our Sod Installation Process Works
We follow a proven step-by-step process to make sure your new lawn gets off to a strong start:
- Site Prep – We remove any old grass, weeds, or debris. Then we level the ground and test the soil.
- Soil Conditioning – If needed, we add topsoil or compost to improve drainage and root growth.
- Sod Selection – We help you pick the right type of grass for your yard’s sunlight, soil, and use. (Common options: Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine.)
- Installation – Our crew lays the sod tight and staggered, just like bricks, to prevent gaps or seams.
- Rolling & Watering – We use a lawn roller to press the sod into the soil and ensure full contact, then start the first deep watering to help roots take hold.
Common Concerns We Address
We get it—installing sod is a big investment, and homeowners often have questions like:
- “How long before I can walk on it?” (Usually 2–3 weeks with proper care.)
- “Will it stay green in summer?” (Yes—with the right watering and grass type.)
- “What if my soil isn’t great?” (We test and amend it before laying sod.)
We walk you through everything you need to know—from watering schedules to mowing tips—so your lawn keeps looking its best.

FAQ
How do I know if sod is the right choice for my yard?
If you want an instant lawn without waiting for grass seed to grow, sod is a great option. It’s ideal for bare spots, new construction, or lawns that need a full renovation. Our team can assess your property and help determine if sod is the best fit for your soil, sun exposure, and usage needs.
What type of sod do you recommend for the Temple, TX area?
We typically install Bermuda, Zoysia, or St. Augustine sod—each performs well in the Central Texas climate. The right type depends on your yard’s sunlight, shade, and how much foot traffic it gets. We’ll recommend the best match during your consultation.
How long does the installation process take?
Most residential sod installations are completed in one to two days, depending on yard size and site conditions. We handle everything—from removing old grass to prepping the soil and laying fresh sod efficiently and professionally.
When is the best time to install sod in Temple, Texas?
The ideal time is spring or early fall, when temperatures are milder and there’s consistent rainfall. However, we install sod year-round and adjust watering and care instructions based on the season.
How should I care for new sod after installation?
Watering is crucial! We’ll provide a custom watering schedule to help the roots establish. Typically, new sod should be watered daily for the first 2–3 weeks, then gradually reduced. Avoid mowing until the sod is rooted—usually around 2–3 weeks after installation.
Do I need to fertilize new sod?
Yes, but timing is important. We usually recommend waiting a few weeks after installation before applying fertilizer. We’ll advise you on the best products and schedule to promote strong root growth and a lush, green lawn.
Will I need to stay off the sod after it's installed?
Yes, try to keep foot traffic to a minimum for 2–3 weeks to allow proper rooting. This gives the grass the best chance to thrive and stay healthy long term.
Do you offer maintenance services after installation?
Absolutely! We can assist with seasonal lawn care, fertilizing, mowing guidance, and more. If you'd rather not manage it yourself, we offer professional landscape maintenance plans to keep your sod looking fresh all year.
