Start Fresh with Instant Green: Sod Installation for San Antonio Lawns

A patchy or dead lawn can hurt your curb appeal fast—but starting over doesn’t have to be a hassle. At Design Scapes, we offer professional sod installation services in San Antonio designed to give you a healthy, green lawn quickly and efficiently. Whether you're dealing with dead grass, new construction, or storm damage, our experienced team helps homeowners, HOAs, and commercial property owners reclaim their outdoor spaces with fresh, locally sourced sod.

Why Sod Instead of Seed?

Laying sod is the fastest way to establish a lush, green lawn. While grass seed takes months to grow (and often with inconsistent results), sod is pre-grown grass that’s installed in strips or squares, giving you:

  • Immediate green coverage

  • Erosion control on sloped yards

  • Fewer weeds from the start

  • Faster usability (walkable in 2–3 weeks)

For San Antonio’s unique climate, sod offers a reliable solution—especially when installed with proper preparation and aftercare.

Our Sod Installation Process

We don’t just roll it out and leave. Our sod installation is built on experience, using the right tools, timing, and materials to ensure long-term success:

1. Site Evaluation

We assess soil type, shade, drainage, and irrigation to determine the best sod variety for your space.

2. Soil Preparation

We remove old grass, weeds, and debris. Then, we grade and level the ground, improving soil quality for proper root development.

3. Sod Delivery & Installation

We use fresh-cut, locally sourced sod, installed in a staggered pattern for seamless growth and minimal gaps.

4. Rolling & Watering

We roll the sod to eliminate air pockets and ensure contact with the soil. Then we water thoroughly to start root bonding.

5. Maintenance Plan

You’ll receive a care guide and watering schedule so your lawn stays healthy in the critical first few weeks.
