Professional Sod & Grass Installation
Mick’s Grass & Sod Service specializes in professional sod and grass installation throughout Greater Houston and Southeast Texas.
Since 2008, we have worked on residential properties, new construction, commercial sites and development projects where successful sod installation depends on more than simply placing grass on the ground.
Site conditions, grading, drainage, soil preparation, irrigation, sod freshness, installation timing and proper soil contact can all affect how successfully a new lawn establishes.
Our crews coordinate the installation process from site preparation through final sod placement, helping homeowners and commercial clients establish new turf efficiently and professionally.
Sod Installation Services
Residential Sod Installation
Professional sod installation can transform an existing lawn, complete a new construction property, or replace damaged and declining grass.
Depending on site conditions, work can include existing grass removal, preparation, grading, soil preparation, sod delivery coordination and professional installation.
Commercial Sod Installation
Commercial sod installation requires scheduling, coordination, experienced crews and the ability to work alongside other contractors and construction activities.
MGSS works with general contractors, developers, builders, property managers, HOAs, municipalities and commercial property owners throughout Greater Houston and Southeast Texas.
Sod Replacement & Lawn Renovation
When an existing lawn is severely damaged, declining or no longer appropriate for the property, complete sod replacement may be more practical than continuing to repair individual areas.
MGSS can remove existing turf, prepare the installation area, correct surface conditions included within the project scope and install fresh sod to create a new lawn.
New Construction Sod Installation
New construction often leaves compacted, disturbed or unfinished soil that must be properly prepared before grass installation.
We work with homeowners, custom builders, production builders, developers and general contractors to install sod around newly constructed homes, subdivisions, commercial buildings and development projects.
Grass Varieties We Install
Select the turf variety based on sunlight, shade, irrigation, drainage, traffic, appearance and maintenance expectations. MGSS primarily installs Bermuda and Raleigh St. Augustine throughout Greater Houston and Southeast Texas.
Bermuda Sod Installation
Bermuda performs well in sunny environments and is commonly used for residential lawns, new construction, commercial properties, land developments, parks, recreational areas and large open spaces.
Raleigh St. Augustine Sod Installation
Raleigh St. Augustine is widely used throughout Southeast Texas. Its dense appearance and ability to tolerate moderate shade make it an important option for many Houston-area residential and commercial properties.
Complete Site Preparation for Sod Installation
Professional sod installation begins before the first piece of grass is placed. Existing vegetation, uneven grades, compacted soil, drainage conditions and poor surface preparation can affect the finished installation and establishment of new turf.
SITE PREPARATION
- Existing grass removal
- Site clearing
- Soil preparation
- Surface preparation
GRADING & WATER
- Rough grading
- Finish grading
- Drainage evaluation
- Irrigation coordination
INSTALLATION & FINISH
- Sod delivery coordination
- Professional installation
- Large-area installation
- Final cleanup & guidance
These capabilities allow MGSS to approach grading, drainage and irrigation as components of a successful sod installation project rather than unrelated services.

Land Development & New Construction Sod Installation

Retention, Detention & Erosion-Control Sod Installation
Sod provides rapid vegetative coverage for disturbed soils and can play an important role in establishing permanent turf around stormwater and erosion-sensitive areas.
MGSS installs sod for retention ponds, detention ponds, pond slopes, drainage areas, swales, disturbed construction areas, right-of-ways and development common areas.
