Fresh, healthy sod that gives you an instant green lawn graded and laid to root fast.
Lockhart's blackland clay is made for cotton and corn, but it can work against you when you're trying to grow a thick, healthy lawn from seed. That's where sod installation comes in. When you lay fresh, rooted sod over properly prepared ground, you skip the slow germination phase and get instant green coverage that establishes fast even in our heavy soil. Corral Bros schedules on-site estimates within 48 hours and handles the whole job: old lawn removal, clay grading, premium Texas sod, and a watering plan so your new grass roots down tight before the summer heat hits.
Whether you're replacing a bare patch at a historic Square property or greening up working acreage south of town, our crew knows how to work Caldwell County soil. We strip the old turf and weeds, amend the clay so it drains right, and lay your choice of St. Augustine, Zoysia, or Bermuda sod in tight, tight seams. Rolling and starter fertilizer come standard. You get a family-owned crew that's licensed, insured, and straightforward about what the local ground demands.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Lockhart property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and sod installation that holds up to Caldwell 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.
Lockhart's deep blackland clay compacts hard and sheds water, making seed germination slow and uneven. Sod has roots already established and pushes through our dense soil faster. You also avoid bare patches attracting weeds during the long germination window. Corral Bros preps your clay properly so sod roots down firm and quick.
Cost depends on lawn size, current condition, and which sod type you choose. Corral Bros provides a free, no-obligation on-site estimate within 48 hours. Call (737) 404-9343 to schedule. We'll walk your property, check the soil, and give you a straightforward price with no surprises.
St. Augustine thrives in our heat and humidity. Zoysia is tough and drought-tolerant once established. Bermuda handles full sun and heavy use well. Corral Bros recommends based on your sun exposure, water plans, and how much foot traffic your lawn sees. We carry all three as premium Texas stock.
With proper watering and our starter fertilizer application, sod roots anchor in two to three weeks even in heavy clay. Full establishment takes four to six weeks. Corral Bros provides a detailed watering plan so your new lawn doesn't dry out or oversoak in our Lockhart heat.
Yes. We strip and haul the old turf and any problem weeds before grading and installing fresh sod. Our crew can handle everything from a small residential patch to larger acreage near Clear Fork or Brock. Removal is part of our standard sod installation package.
