How To Install Sod In Houston

1

Measure Your Property

Grab a piece of paper, a measuring tape and head out to the yard. Be sure to measure along every edge of the project. For irregularly shaped yards, try to break the yard into several rectangles (and add them later). To calculate the area of grass you will need, multiply the width (ft) and length (ft) to get the square feet. Hold onto this number to give to the landscaper.
