Featured Reviews for Sod Installers in Austin

Austin Native Landscaping
Sod Installers in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 27, 2014
“I initially hired Reed and Andrew to landscape my front yard in October of 2012, shortly after I moved into my home. The entire process was easy, straightforward, and the project turned out even better than I expected. They answered all of my questions, were easy to work with, and most importantly, did what they said they were going to do, when they said they were going to do it. Whenever I'm out working in my yard, the neighbors comment on how great it looks, and I've had many cars stop and ask me who did the work. I was so happy with both the process, and the final results, that I had them do my backyard landscaping last spring/summer. I was even MORE pleased with the results! I love it. Even now, they are great about answering my questions, and I can't say enough positive words about Austin Native Landscaping.”
SOMOS Design and Landscaping
Sod Installers in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 11, 2015
“Becca & Carlos (Somos Design and Landscaping) were a delight to work with for many reasons, (3) of which I have highlighted below: 1. Their creations/designs are truly imaginative. There is "magical" quality to their work and they have the ability to take a clients vision and create something “uniquely unique”. 2. Professionalism and Craftsmanship from start to finish - they were consistent from the development of the concept to its' execution and eventual completion. Their projects are well-executed and the employees of SOMOS are equally delightful individuals to work with. 3. They are wonderful human beings who are easy to work with, communicate well, and have well-developed ability to create something inspired and visionary. Be advised - if your looking for someone to throw down sod and plant some bushes, this is likely the wrong outfit for you. If you are a creative individual looking for an original design with an artisans touch, their creative abilities warrant your consideration. We would HIGHLY recommend them.”

“They took out ugly grass and redid my backyard, using lots of washed river rock, Brazos river rock, blackstar gravel, put in Flagstone pathway, a stone bench and an awesome waterfall. Took my vision and put it on paper, than in the yard. Trees, bushes and plants also. Wonderful to work with, crew of workers were great. I recommend they highly.”
Waterloo Outdoor Design Build
Sod Installers in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 2, 2019
“Marion and her crew were absolutely fantastic. Marion designed an extremely low maintenance landscaping plan and beautiful deck that we now practically live on. She really listened to what we wanted and came up with a great plan for us. The best part was that she didn't try to up sell us or overdo it in her design. She kept things simple and beautiful. The team was amazing and got the entire deck and landscaping done in a week, even working right after a hurricane! I highly recommend Waterloo. We couldn't be happier.”

“They helped with site prep for a playground and firepit install we will be doing. They were very punctual, easy to discuss the project with, had a good price, and did a great job. Looking forward to working with them more in the future.”
Constant Lawn and Gardener LLC
Sod Installers in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 15, 2023
“I can't recommend Constant Lawn and Gardener enough. I hired them to do a big job at my late mother's house and it really transformed the outside space, making it a lovely tribute to her. Roberto and his crew tended to the much-neglected backyard, laying gravel and mulch, trimming trees, adding a brand new deck and painting the patio, among other improvements. Adding mulch, gravel and edging to the front yard made that space beautiful as well. The crew did all of this and more in a short timeframe in the midst of a brutally hot summer. Roberto was incredibly responsive to my questions and queries about additional work during the main project. I'm grateful to Roberto and his team, as I know my mother would be. I'm looking forward to working with them in the future!”
Swift Grow Company
Sod Installers in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 10, 2024
“My house recently had landscaping done by Jeremiah and the Swift Grow Company, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They won me over with their professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, and strong communication abilities right away. The service's reasonable price was among the first things that caught my attention. They gave a thorough, transparent, and competitive estimate. Their honesty and integrity are demonstrated by the fact that there were no unexpected expenses or charges during the process. Dealing with experts who respect pricing transparency is invigorating. The team demonstrated their attention to detail throughout the project. The outcome is a stunningly designed area that far above my expectations. From the flood-control retaining walls to my new water feature, the commitment to detail is obvious. They had to perfectly match some old concrete that was already there. I wholeheartedly recommend Swift Grow for anyone seeking landscaping services that combine quality, affordability, and excellent communication.”

Purple Fountain Tree
Sod Installers in Austin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 12, 2019
“We had Jef and his team do some regrading, dig a ditch along the rear perimeter and create a large French Drain running along the back and side of our property. The system integrated into our existing gutters and downspouts, and took the excess water to daylight (away from our house and out of harms way). I highly recommend Jef and his team. They worked hard, were easy to communicate with, highly professional and the most important of all: When we had our first big rain after the project was completed, our house stayed completely dry. Strongly recommend.”

“Daniel did an awesome job reclaiming our property after Covid made it difficult to get someone for too long. Our property hasn't looked this good in a couple of years, and it's nice to arrive at my beautiful home again. Cannot recommend their team enough.”

Landscaper FAQs
The duration depends on the lawn size and preparation needs, but most residential projects are completed within 1-2 days. Larger or more complex landscapes requiring significant soil preparation or custom solutions might take longer. Consultation with your installer will provide a more precise timeline based on your specific situation.
Selecting the right type of sod involves considering your local climate, soil type, sun exposure, and water availability. Common types include Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine, and Fescue, each with specific care requirements and benefits. Professional sod installers can provide guidance based on soil testing and local experience, ensuring the sod type matches your environmental conditions and maintenance preferences.
Homeowners should clear the lawn area of debris, furniture, and toys. Marking out sprinkler heads, utility lines, and similar obstacles can prevent damage. Ensuring easy access to the lawn area for large rolls of sod and equipment is also helpful. Discuss with your installer if additional steps like old lawn removal or soil treatment are needed before installation.
Installers use their experience to address challenges such as uneven ground (by leveling and compacting soil), poor soil quality (through amendments or topsoil), shade (selecting shade-tolerant grass types), and drainage issues (installing drainage solutions or grading the lawn). They assess your site-specific challenges during the consultation to plan effective solutions.
Yes, eco-friendly options include selecting drought-tolerant grass types to reduce water usage, opting for organic soil amendments, and choosing local sod farms to decrease transportation emissions. Discussing these preferences with your installer can help identify sustainable practices that align with your environmental values.
After installation, itʼs crucial to follow the watering schedule recommended by your installer, generally involving deep watering to encourage deep root growth. Avoid walking on new sod until itʼs firmly rooted, and begin mowing when it reaches recommended height. A maintenance plan including fertilization, aeration, and overseeding as needed will help your lawn thrive long-term. Consult your sod installer for a personalized care plan.
