Why This Summer Is Actually the Perfect Time to Plant Sod in Austin & West Lake Hills
Why Summer Sod Usually Gets the Cold Shoulder
In Central Texas, homeowners are often told not to plant sod in summer. The reasoning? Harsh sun, blistering temperatures, and the potential for drought stress. Typically, sod laid in July struggles to root, browns quickly, and costs more in water and maintenance.
But This July Is a Game-Changer
This summer has flipped the script. With temperate heat and frequent rainfall, Austin and West Lake Hills are enjoying a rare climate window that’s ideal for planting sod. Instead of the usual dry, cracking lawns, we’re seeing lush, thriving turf across the area. Landscapers are reporting strong root establishment and vibrant green color - yes, even in July!
