🌱 Houston Grass Q&A: Choosing, Installing, and Caring for Your Lawn
Welcome to the Houston Grass Podcast, where owner Michael Romine shares insights from decades of family farming and local lawn care experience. In this episode, Michael answers some of the most common questions Houston homeowners ask when it comes to buying, installing, and caring for grass sod in our hot, humid climate.
🏡 Buying Grass Sod in Houston
Where Can I Buy Premium Grass Sod for Residential Lawns?
You can buy premium grass sod directly from Houston Grass in Arcola, Texas — just off Highway 6 at McKeever Road. Every pallet comes fresh from our family farm, where we’ve been growing top-quality turf for more than 40 years. Michael’s father built the business on one promise: “Our grass will be second to none.”
Why Choose Houston Grass Instead of Big Box Stores?
Unlike stores that sell sod as a side business, grass is all we do. We don’t sell mulch or stone — just grass sod, year-round. When you buy from us, you’re getting farm-fresh grass that hasn’t been sitting in a parking lot for days.
🚚 Delivery and Installation Services
Does Houston Grass Deliver and Install Sod?
Yes! Delivery and installation are our specialties. We’ve been doing this for more than 20 years, and our installer has worked exclusively with us for over 15 years. His prep work and attention to detail make our grass look even better once it’s installed.
How Big of a Project Can You Handle?
Whether you need a few pallets or a full truckload, Houston Grass can deliver. Each 18-wheeler carries about 8,100 square feet of sod, and we can coordinate multiple loads for large residential or commercial projects.
💧 Choosing the Right Grass Variety
What Are the Best Drought-Resistant Grasses for Houston?
If drought tolerance is your top priority, Bermuda grass is the most resilient — but it requires 100% sunlight. For yards that need some shade tolerance, Cobalt St. Augustine is an excellent choice, combining good drought tolerance with improved disease resistance.
What Grass Is Best for High-Traffic Areas?
Bermuda grass is also the best for high-traffic lawns and sports fields. It’s the fastest-recovering grass variety, which is why you see it on golf courses and athletic fields throughout Texas.
Which Sod Varieties Are Best for Shade?
For shaded lawns, Palmetto St. Augustine and Cobalt St. Augustine perform best. If you prefer something different, Palisades Zoysia handles a mix of sun and shade beautifully and creates a dense, premium-looking lawn.
🌿 Caring for Your Lawn in Houston
What Lawn Care Products Should I Use in the Fall?
October is a critical month for lawn care in Houston. Michael recommends applying:
- Heritage G fungicide to prevent brown patch fungus
- Nitro-Phos Fall Special Fertilizer to strengthen roots
- Barricade Pre-Emergent to stop winter weeds before they start
These products are all available at our Arcola office and help ensure a healthy start to spring.
Is Fall a Good Time to Plant New Sod?
Absolutely. Fall is one of the best seasons for sod installation in the Houston area. Cooler weather means less water is needed, and the grass still has enough warmth to establish roots before winter.
