No. 01 — Cover

An Austin sod grower who knows the rocky, alkaline soil west of I-35, not a big box lot moving whatever pallet has been baking the longest.

The Austin brief

Austin sits where the Blackland Prairie meets the limestone of the Hill Country, so lawns here contend with shallow, alkaline soil over rock and long, dry summers in USDA hardiness zone 8b. Full sun yards in Pflugerville and Round Rock thrive on Bermuda and native Buffalograss, while older lots shaded by live oaks lean on St. Augustine. We choose grasses that shrug off Central Texas heat rather than fight it.

Field guide Q&A

What grass grows best in Austin, TX?

It depends on sun. Full sun yards do best with Bermuda or native Buffalograss, both heat and drought tolerant, while shadier lots under live oaks usually want St. Augustine. Zoysia is a dense middle ground. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension recommends all four for Central Texas.

Do you deliver sod throughout Greater Austin?

Yes. We deliver fresh cut sod across Austin and surrounding towns including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Pflugerville. Call (512) 555-0142 to confirm availability and book a delivery window.

Which grass uses the least water around Austin?

Native Buffalograss needs the least once established and is well matched to Central Texas. Bermuda is also drought hardy in full sun. Both are good picks if you want a lawn that holds up through an Austin summer without heavy irrigation.

How many pallets will my Austin lawn need?

Figure about 450 square feet per pallet. Measure your yard length by width, take out the driveway, beds, and patio, then call (512) 555-0142 with the total and we will size the order for you.

Will sod root in Austin's rocky, alkaline soil?

Yes, with the right prep. We loosen and grade the shallow ground first and choose grasses suited to alkaline soil, so the sod knits in instead of sitting on top of caliche and rock.

When is the best time to lay sod in Central Texas?

Warm season sod roots best in warm soil, so spring through early fall is ideal around Austin. That gives the lawn a full season to establish before the cooler months arrive.
