Who do we sell to?

Can I lay sod year-round?
Yes, although in your winter months the sod will more than likely be dormant, it is still safe to lay sod year-round. The roots remain active even when the sod is dormant, it will still root down; they are just at a slower rate during the winter months. Please remember you still need to water new sod during the winter months.
How many Sq. Ft/Yards are on a pallet?
Each pallet covers 450 sq ft/50 yards. Each pallet has 168 pieces on a pallet. Our Bermuda pallets are 500 sq ft/55.56 yards a pallet and have 186 pieces.
Which type of sod is recommended for full sun?
Any sod we sell will be fine in full sun as that is how it is grown at the farm. Zeon Zoysia and Tif Tuf Bermuda are the most popular and will take less water than other varieties.
Which type of sod is recommended for shade?
We recommend Zoysia or Palmetto St. Augustine sod for shady areas.
Which type of sod is recommended for heavy traffic?
We would recommend Celebration Bermuda because of its recovery time.
How often do I need to water my new sod?
We recommend you water three times a day during the hotter month’s morning, noon and evening, with the morning watering being the most important. Your new sod needs to stay wet but not soaked, to help promote root growth.
Should I fertilize my new sod once I get it down?
We do not recommend fertilizing when you first get your new sod because the farm has already fertilized it for you. We recommend waiting at least 2-3 months before adding any fertilizer.
How long do I have to lay my new sod?
Your new sod should be installed the day you get it, especially during the hotter months. If you do not get it down that day, you take a chance of it turning yellow. Although no one wants yellow grass, the grass is still alive, the roots will remain active, but you should lay it as soon as possible and put plenty of water on it.
How long before I can mow my new sod?
We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks before mowing your new sod.
How long should you wait to walk on the new sod?
If you must walk on it immediately, you can do that but if it is too wet, you will end up leaving tracks through your new sod. It is recommended to wait a couple of weeks before walking on it, so the roots have time to become established.
Do you sell pieces or partial pallets of sod?
We do not generally sell pieces or partial pallets. During the Spring we might be able to accommodate this as other customers are looking for a partial pallet also.
Which type of sod does well in this area?
Each type of sod that we sell is grown in this area or South Texas and does well in this area.
Do you have any sod I can pick up today?
Here at CTX Sod, we only bring in sod as it is ordered. We want to keep our sod as fresh as possible for our customers. We do not keep any sod at our yard. We would be glad to get you on our schedule.
How much does each pallet weigh?
Our 450 sq ft pallets weigh 2200 and 2500 pounds depending on the amount of moisture. Our 500 sq ft pallet weighs between 2500 and 2800 pounds depending on the moisture. As long as your truck will hold this amount of weight, you should be able to haul it without a trailer.
How many days in advance do I need to place my order?
You will need to place your order 2-3 days in advance. During the springtime when sales are higher, it would be best to get it scheduled sooner than later to ensure we can have it for you the day you need it as we do book up fast.
Does sod do well in the sandy soil?
All our sod will do well in sandy soil. You will have to do shorter but more frequent watering than the coarser soils.
