It's a good idea to place your order a day or two ahead of time, especially during the Spring and Fall which are the busiest times for us.

We thought you might enjoy seeing how the grass is harvested. The most common way is to harvest it in 16 x 24 slabs. Probably 90% of what we sell is harvested this way. Here is a video of that in action. Another way is to roll up the sod. We generally only do this with types of bermuda but it can be done with St. Augustine also. We use a big roll system with the rolls being 2 feet wide and around 112.5 feet long for a total of 25 square yards. Below is a video of the big roll machine in action. Our newest harvester is called an AutoSlab machine. This harvester can cut two different sizes of slabs; either a 2' x 4' slab or a 2' x 2' slab. In general the 2' x 4' slabs are the best to work with because they allow you to install the sod much quicker. But after a rain or when the grass is wet the 2' x 4' slabs can be too heavy and so we will generally cut the smaller slabs in that case. We think this...

Empire Zoysia Empire is a rich, deep, emerald-colored grass with a massive root system. Excellent soft texture and proportion, thriving in harsh tropical climates, yet exhibits a strong cold hardiness, tolerance, and rapid injury recovery. Fine, tight blade growth with outstanding Fall color retention and early Spring green-up. It has a moderate shade tolerance with a selective resistance to insects and disease. Requires less fertilizing, watering, herbicide or fungicide usage, and mowing as compared to St. Augustine or Bermudagrass varieties. Easy weed control due to growth habits and high tolerance to most common herbicides.

FAQ

Fri, 09 May 2008 15:40:52 GMT

How much fertilizer do I use, what type, and when should I fertilize the grass? Use 13-13-13 of any brand and 10 pounds per 1000 square feet, which works out to 5 pounds per pallet; you should fertilize as soon as you can to help the grass get established. How much do I need to water the grass when I lay it? Water newly installed grass every day for the first 10 to 14 days, then every two to three days for a few weeks. Water should not be standing on the grass but soaked through to the ground below the grass. Usually watering an hour a day is plenty. What do I use to kill chinch bugs? Normally you don’t need to do anything. St. Augustine always has chinch bugs but normally the St. Augustine grows faster than the chinch bugs can eat it so they are not a problem. Sometimes during a drought when the St. Augustine is not growing at its normal clip, it cannot outgrow the chinch bugs. At times like this you can use Bayer Advanced Multi- Insect killer to control...

Sod Harvesting 101

Grass Tips

Tue, 01 May 2007 14:24:05 GMT

Install the Sod Immediately and Begin Watering! Do not Wait Until the Next Day. Sod is perishable and must not be allowed to remain on the pallet. Proper watering is essential to the establishment of your new sod. During the first week, keep the sod and soil beneath completely soaked—it is almost impossible to over water during this period. As a general guide, water 2 times a day during this critical first week. Watering times should be approximately 20-25 minutes. These numbers may need to be increased during very hot weather.* If water starts to puddle, cut back a bit on watering time. During the second week, reduce watering to 1 time a day, gradually allowing the soil to firm. This will make it possible for you to mow for the first time toward the end of week two. After three weeks your sod should be established and you may cut back to a normal watering routine which for the Houston area is once every two to three weeks during the spring and summer. *Frequency and length of...
