Sod Installation in Houston
Sod installation lays down mature, ready-grown turf for an instant lawn — ideal for bare yards, new construction, or replacing grass that's too far gone to recover.
Mowtivated is a referral service that matches you with vetted, insured local lawn-care pros.
What's included
- Removal of old turf and grading
- Fresh St. Augustine, Bermuda, or Zoysia sod
- Soil prep for strong rooting
- Watering and establishment guidance
In Houston, specifically
St. Augustine is the go-to for most Houston yards thanks to its shade tolerance; Bermuda suits full sun and play areas; Zoysia is the premium, dense option. New-build lots almost always need sod over the stripped clay.
