Professional Sod Installation for North Houston Lawns
Need sod installation in The Woodlands or Spring TX? Boone’s Landscaping delivers instant lawn transformations with premium sod varieties selected specifically for Texas conditions. Unlike seeding that takes months, sod gives you a beautiful, usable lawn immediately — installed in just one day with proper soil prep for fast rooting.
Preparation is everything. We don’t just lay sod — we prepare your soil correctly first. This includes removing old grass and weeds, amending Texas clay soil, grading for proper drainage, and creating ideal conditions for roots to establish quickly. Skipping these steps is why DIY sod projects often fail.
We source fresh sod daily from local Texas growers and install the same day it’s harvested — never sod that’s been sitting on pallets drying out. Whether you need a complete lawn renovation or repairs to damaged areas, we handle projects from 500 to 50,000+ square feet. Contact us for a free on-site estimate.
Why Sod?
Why Choose Sod Over Seed?
Sod provides instant results and higher success rates than seeding.
Instant Results
Walk on your new lawn in 2-3 weeks. Seed takes 2-3 months to establish.
Erosion Control
Immediate ground cover prevents soil washout on slopes and new construction.
No Weed Competition
Dense sod blocks weeds. Seeded lawns struggle with weed competition for months.
Year-Round Installation
Sod can be installed any season. Seeding is limited to specific windows.
Less Water Overall
Established faster means less total watering than babying seeds for months.
Higher Success Rate
Professional sod installation has 95%+ success vs. 50-60% for DIY seeding.
Property Value
Lush lawn immediately boosts curb appeal — important for selling or refinancing.
Usable Space
Kids and pets can use the lawn in weeks, not months of “keep off grass” signs.

FAQ
Sod Installation — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about sod installation in Texas.
How much does sod installation cost in The Woodlands?
Sod installation in The Woodlands typically costs $1.50-$3.00 per square foot installed, including soil prep, sod, and labor. St. Augustine runs $1.75-$2.50/sq ft, Bermuda $1.50-$2.25/sq ft, and Zoysia $2.00-$3.00/sq ft. A typical 5,000 sq ft lawn costs $8,000-$12,000 fully installed. We provide free on-site estimates with exact pricing.
What is the best grass for lawns in The Woodlands?
St. Augustine is the most popular grass in The Woodlands due to its shade tolerance, lush appearance, and adaptability to Texas clay soil. For full-sun yards, Bermuda is excellent — it’s drought-tolerant and self-repairing. Zoysia is ideal for those wanting a premium, low-maintenance lawn with soft texture. We’ll recommend the best variety based on your yard’s sun exposure and usage.
When is the best time to install sod in Texas?
Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) are ideal for sod installation in Texas — moderate temperatures help roots establish quickly. However, we install sod year-round with adjusted care protocols. Summer installations require more frequent watering. Winter installations work for dormant warm-season grasses but green-up occurs in spring.
How long until I can walk on new sod?
Avoid walking on new sod for the first 2 weeks to allow roots to establish. After 2-3 weeks, light foot traffic is fine. Full use (kids playing, pets, heavy traffic) should wait until 3-4 weeks when roots are firmly anchored. You can test readiness by gently tugging a corner — if it resists, roots have established.
How much water does new sod need?
New sod needs consistent moisture for the first 2-3 weeks. Week 1: Water 3-4 times daily for 10-15 minutes each (keep sod moist, not soggy). Week 2: Water 2-3 times daily. Week 3: Transition to once daily. After roots establish (3-4 weeks), shift to deep watering 2-3 times per week. We provide detailed watering schedules based on season and grass type.
Do you remove old grass before installing sod?
Yes, we always remove existing grass and weeds before installing new sod. Laying sod over old grass creates problems — the old material decomposes unevenly, creates air pockets, harbors diseases, and prevents proper root contact with soil. Our prep includes removal, soil amendment, grading, and creating optimal conditions for your new lawn.
