Houston Grass South

If anyone needs high quality but very affordable grass sod, I recommend trying Houston Grass South off of Hwy 6 South, a couple miles North from Hwy 288. They sell by the piece, half-​pallet, full pallet, or roll (depending on type). We purchased a half pallet, 85 pieces, of Raleigh St. Augustine to repair muddy spots in our yard. This is normally about $ 64, already much cheaper than a few other places I checked like Houston Garden Centers which requires a minimum purchase of at least a full pallet, plus a delivery charge. The service I experienced at Houston Grass Sod was stellar, without any extra fees other than sales tax. We called a day in advance to reserve the half pallet of grass sod. The next day we arrived, but unfortunately their delivery driver was running late. They offered us a 50% discount for the inconvenience and said we could either come back later the same evening or the next day. We opted to come back the next day, and they had it ready and waiting for us. If you have a pickup truck or trailer they will load it for you via a forklift, but we had just an SUV we so we opted to self-​load. Per their recommendation to carefully stack and layer the grass, we were able to fit all 85 pieces into our vehicle. To keep hands cleaner while self-​loading or unloading, be sure to use a pair of gloves; we opted for blue-​colored nitrile rubber gloves because they are low-​cost and disposable. Be sure to bring some gloves when loading and unloading. The grass sod pieces stayed intact and match very well with our existing grass.
Houston Grass South has two web sites with a plethora of helpful information:

Update to prior review:
My husband and I were having difficulties with communication from the contractor which was used to install our grass. However, after leaving reviews to the company, we were contacted by the company owner to make everything right. He was very polite, honest, and did what was necessary to make us satisfied with our installation.
Overview of contractor issues:
–Required multiple visits (2+) to complete the job, did not bring enough grass
–Difficult to schedule & communicate with
–Concerns on installation quality
–Had to purchase grass and labor hundreds beyond the initial quote amount
My concerns with the contractor were eliminated after speaking and working with the owner. He apologized for the communication issues that went along with the contractor. He explained they continue using the contractor because of his quality work. We were given the option to have him assist in completing the job, which he did. When he was out at our home, he reassured that the grass installation was quality work and would take (which was a major concern with my 1^st review). He helped to fix issues with the contractors installing grass over holes without leveling. Grass was installed over weeds and construction debris, but the damage was done there. The professionalism to ensure we were satisfied with the work.
4 stars overall. 5 stars for the owner, 1 for contractor.
Recommendations:
–Have an employee provide quote of work that can be held responsible for the $$ provided. I provided square footage of the work area and had to purchase pallets beyond the quote. I understand mistakes happen, but it hurt in budgeting this experience.

Beautiful Palmetto St Augustine grass. Delivered on time and at a reasonable price. I needed to purchase a half pallet more than I had delivered so I went to Arcola/​Rosharon and they loaded it on my pickup with a forklift. The place is easy to locate and a quick on and off hwy 6. From website research to phone order to delivery and storefront purchase, everything was professional and seamless. But most of all, they are really helpful, and nice people. That always makes me remember to write a review.

The lady working was really nice and helpful in person although it was hard to get a hold of them through the phone.
The price for a piece of grass was extremely cheap compared to buying a tray of grass at your local Home Depot or Lowes and even local plant/​garden shops for 8x the price for a smaller piece.
They have a few selections to choose from (about 4 – 6 varieties) if you’re buying in pallets or bulk.
I know they do deliveries as well, but the one thing I wish they did was to help load the pieces into your car as you have to do it yourself. I highly recommend this place. I can’t wait to grow old so I can yell at kids to stay off my grass!
