Fresh, healthy sod that gives you an instant green lawn graded and laid to root fast.
Corral Bros installs graded sod lawns across Elgin, giving you an instant, established-looking yard instead of waiting months for seed to fill in. From in-town lots near Downtown Elgin to homesteads along Highway 290, we prep the ground, grade for drainage, and lay quality sod that roots into your specific soil. We are a locally owned, family-built crew, and we do the dirt work right so the grass actually takes.
Sod success in Elgin comes down to the soil under it. Sandy east-side loam drains fast and needs good moisture management to keep new sod from drying out, while heavy blackland clay must be graded and loosened so roots can penetrate and water does not pool. We match the grass variety to your lot and set you up with a watering plan for those critical first weeks. Corral Bros is licensed and insured, works residential and commercial, and offers free on-site estimates usually within 48 hours. Call (737) 404-9343.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Elgin property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and sod installation that holds up to Bastrop County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
St. Augustine is the most popular sod in Central Texas because it tolerates shade and heat, while Zoysia offers a dense, low-maintenance turf and Bermuda thrives in full sun with high drought tolerance. We recommend the right grass based on your sun, soil and water goals.
Stay off new sod for about two weeks so the roots can knit into the soil, then keep heavy traffic light for the first month. Water it daily, sometimes twice a day in summer, for the first two weeks. With proper watering, new sod usually roots within two to three weeks.
It depends on the square footage, the grass variety, and how much grading and soil prep your lot needs. A flat, ready yard costs less than one needing regrading. Corral Bros measures your Elgin property and gives a free on-site estimate, usually within 48 hours, covering both the sod and the prep work.
It depends on sun and soil. Warm-season grasses that handle Texas heat do well here, but sandy east-side lots and clay yards suit slightly different varieties and watering. We recommend a grass that fits your lot's sun, drainage, and how much upkeep you want, so it thrives instead of thinning out.
New sod needs frequent, light watering for the first couple of weeks to keep roots moist, then tapering as it establishes. In Elgin's summer heat and on fast-draining sandy ground, that schedule is critical. We give you a clear watering plan, and we can install irrigation to make it automatic and consistent.
Always. Good sod fails on bad ground. We clear the area, grade it for proper drainage, and loosen the soil so roots take hold, which matters on Elgin's compacted clay. That prep is what separates a lawn that lasts from one that dies in patches the first summer.
