Why people call about this.
The lawn is patchy or gone
Sod fixes in a day what seed will not fix in a season here.
A new build
Builder sod is usually thin and badly graded.
Plantings keep dying
Usually soil or water rather than the plant. Both get sorted before anything goes in.
TROY, TX
Sod & Planting in Troy: what’s different here.
Troy is a small, fast-growing town on I-35 between Temple and Waco, with about 2,400 people at the 2020 census and new subdivisions pushing that number up quickly since. It began in 1882 as a railroad stop, and today it mixes an older town center with new builder neighborhoods and rural lots around the edges. Permits inside town go through the City of Troy, new subdivisions may have HOA rules, rural lots outside the city limits fall under Bell County, and every dig starts with a Texas811 locate.
Landscape Design & Build in Troy
Most new Troy homes start with builder sod on flat, open clay lots, which is the easiest time to plan beds, trees, and hardscape together.
The ground
Troy sits on the same dark Blackland Prairie clay common around Temple, which drains slowly and shrinks and swells with the weather, so base prep and drainage matter for anything built on it.
Homes and lots
A small older town core, new-construction neighborhoods such as The Village at Elm Creek and Turtle Creek, established subdivisions like River Oaks, and country lots outside town.
