From a single patchy backyard to a full new-build lot, Barefoot installs fresh-cut sod the right way — proper grading, real soil prep, and a 30-day establishment plan. Veteran-owned and serving North Texas since 2012.
A new lawn should look finished the day it goes in and still be thriving next summer. Most sod that fails in North Texas wasn’t bad sod — it was sod laid onto unprepared Blackland clay.
We do it differently. Every Barefoot sod job starts with the grade and the soil: we correct drainage so water leaves your foundation, break up and amend the heavy clay so roots can dig in, then lay fresh-cut sod the same day it’s delivered. The result establishes faster, needs less patching, and holds through Texas heat. Whether you’re replacing a tired lawn or finishing a builder’s raw lot, you get one even, healthy lawn — not a checkerboard by August.
The best sod depends on your sun, your soil, and your budget. We walk every yard and recommend the variety that will actually thrive — not just the cheapest pallet that week.
The North Texas workhorse — fast to establish, heat- and drought-tough, and great with kids and pets. Our most-installed sod.
Dense, soft, and manicured, with better shade tolerance than Bermuda. A premium upgrade for front lawns.
Broad-bladed and shade-tolerant for lots with mature trees where Bermuda thins out.

We measure square footage, check sun and drainage, and recommend the right cultivar — quoted in writing before any work begins.
Old turf and debris come out; we correct the grade so water drains away from the home.
We break up and amend compacted Blackland clay so new roots can penetrate.
Delivered fresh and laid same-day, tight-seamed for a seamless, even lawn.
Rolled for full soil contact and watered immediately so it starts rooting fast.
A clear watering and first-mow schedule — the step most DIY installs get wrong.
Our crew put fresh sod on this Van Alstyne front yard and curb strip this fall. Here is what the day looks like, from rolling the new grass to watering it in.

We don’t post a flat per-foot rate because no two yards are the same. Your quote depends on square footage, grass type, soil prep and grading, old-lawn removal, and site access. We measure your yard and put it in writing up front — no surprises.
Barefoot serves two areas a little differently. In Grayson County we're full-service (including weekly mowing). In McKinney and Allen we offer weekly and bi-weekly mowing as well as installs. Across the rest of Collin County we focus on installs — sod, landscape, and grading.
In Grayson County, our home base, we lay sod in Denison, Sherman, Pottsboro and Van Alstyne. Planning around the seasons? Here's why fall is a great time to lay sod.
Tell us where you need sod installed and how to reach you. If you know the approximate lawn size, what needs to be removed or whether access is tight, add it in the optional notes. We will confirm the preparation, installation scope and availability with you.

“I was in desperate need of a yard clean up and Will and his crew saved the day. They got my yard looking neat and clean without any hassle.”
“Barefoot guys did a great job with my lawn! They were really good at communicating promptly and effectively. I would definitely recommend their services!”
“We had the best experience! After initial contact, they were out completing our yard within 24 hours. Professional and kind, and sent pictures after since I wasn’t home. SO impressed.”
It depends on your yard’s square footage, the grass type, and how much soil prep and grading the lot needs. We measure and quote in writing up front. Our sod cost guide and calculator gives real ballpark numbers.
Bermuda for full sun, Zoysia for a premium look and light shade, and St. Augustine for shaded lots under trees. We recommend the variety that fits your yard’s sun, soil, and budget.
Almost always poor prep on Blackland clay — sod laid on compacted soil with bad drainage. We fix the grade and amend the soil before laying a single roll, which is why our lawns establish and last.
Spring through early fall is ideal, but with the right watering, sod can be installed nearly year-round here. We’ll tell you honestly if waiting will give you a better result.
We prep it. Grading and soil amendment are the difference between a lawn that roots in and one that fails — and they’re included in how we work.
