Few upgrades transform curb appeal faster than a fresh, green lawn. In the hot, variable climate of South-Central Texas, however, laying sod correctly is both a science and an art. CountBricks pairs on-site craftsmanship with AI-powered estimating to deliver predictable results for every residential project. Whether you are refreshing a front yard in Alamo Heights or wrapping up new construction outside Loop 1604, our platform streamlines planning, pricing, and project delivery.
• Summer highs above 95°F place heavy water demands on new turf
• Clay and caliche soils restrict root penetration without proper preparation
• Sudden rain events can wash away poorly anchored sod
By accounting for these factors inside the CountBricks estimating engine, homeowners receive realistic time lines, soil amendment quantities, and irrigation allowances before work even begins.
1. Voice-guided intake captures square footage, slope, and access details in minutes
2. Our blueprint takeoff tool maps contours from PDFs or CAD, auto-calculating sod rolls, topsoil, and starter fertilizer
3. Real-time material pricing pulls live costs from regional suppliers so your quote reflects today’s market, not last quarter’s
4. Labor modules adjust for crew size, disposal fees, and permit requirements common to San Antonio municipalities
5. A polished proposal is generated instantly and can be e-signed through CountBricks.com/portfolio for faster approvals
1. Soil Testing and Grading – CountBricks recommends a minimum 4-inch depth of amended topsoil. Our platform auto-flags locations needing additional excavation when slopes exceed 3%.
2. Pre-Irrigation – In San Antonio’s semi-arid climate, hydrating the sub-soil 24 hours before installation can reduce transplant shock by up to 30%.
3. Staggered Laying Pattern – Crews place rolls in a brick-like pattern, preventing seam separation during the first two weeks of rooting.
4. Rolling and Watering – A lightweight roller eliminates air pockets while schedules generated by CountBricks calculate the exact gallons per zone for the first ten days.
5. Post-Installation Inspection – Our digital punch-list inside CountBricks.com/services ensures no section is missed, documenting photos for homeowner peace of mind.
