Scissors Sod & Irrigation Installation — Insured

Scissors sits in Hidalgo County with a population of roughly 3,758, close enough to Mission that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the farm grid south of San Juan, the Hidalgo County canal laterals.

Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Scissors properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Hidalgo County, and a sod installation contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

Call (877) 684-2382 or send the form and we schedule a site visit in Scissors, usually within a couple of days. You get a written, itemized free estimate with materials and scope spelled out — no verbal ballpark, no pressure, and no charge whether you hire us or not. Se habla español.

We also serve Citrus City, TX and the rest of the Upper Rio Grande Valley. Everything starts at the Mission Elite Sod & Turf homepage.

Mission Elite Sod & Turf covers the same range of work in Scissors that we do in Mission — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:

• Canal & District Water Systems — Canal and district water systems are how a lot of Hidalgo County properties irrigate for a fraction of what treated city water costs, and if your lot has a delivery right, using it is usually the single biggest saving available on a landscape. We design, filter and automate raw-water irrigation for homes, HOAs, orchards and commercial sites across Mission, Palmview and Sullivan City.
• Drainage & French Drains — French drain installation is the fix when a Mission yard is still squelching two days after a storm, and standing water is the number one reason we get called back to a lawn somebody else installed last year. We build real drains — consistent fall, washed drain rock, perforated pipe laid holes-down, filter fabric wrapping the whole assembly — not a corrugated pipe dropped in a ditch and covered over.
• Winter Rye Overseeding — Winter rye overseeding is how Valley properties stay green from November through March while dormant Bermuda goes straw-colored, and it is the reason HOA entries, hotels and Winter Texan communities around Mission book us every October. We seed annual or perennial ryegrass into existing warm-season turf, and the lawn is green within a couple of weeks.
• Lawn Maintenance Programs — Lawn maintenance programs decide what your grass looks like in year three, because a new lawn is an asset for about two years and after that it becomes whatever the mowing and the controller made it. We run mowing, edging, aeration, topdressing, dethatching and monthly irrigation checks for homes, HOAs, builders and commercial properties across Mission, Palmhurst and McAllen on weekly, biweekly or monthly rotations.
• Fertilization & Weed Control — Lawn fertilization and weed control in Mission goes wrong on timing more than on product, and most of the fertilizer spread in this county lands at the wrong moment, at the wrong rate, out of the wrong bag. We start with a soil test and then run a season-long schedule of slow-release nitrogen, correctly timed pre-emergent and grass-specific herbicides, applied under a Texas Department of Agriculture applicator license.
• Chinch Bug & Lawn Pest Control — Chinch bug treatment is the call we take most often between June and September: an irregular yellow-brown patch in the hottest, sunniest strip of a St. Augustine lawn that keeps expanding and does not respond to more water.
