Mission Elite Sod & Turf provides professional new construction sod packages in Mission, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Upper Rio Grande Valley. New construction sod packages are the fastest way to turn a lot full of construction spoil into something a buyer will walk out onto, and around Sharyland and north Mission we take them by the phase rather than by the house. One crew handles finish grading, soil correction, irrigation and turf, so the closing date does not depend on three trades pointing at each other. Construction dirt is its own category of problem. What is left after the concrete crews finish is rarely topsoil — it is subsoil pushed around by heavy equipment, compacted by everything that drove over it, mixed with mortar washout, caliche base spoil and whatever ended up in the trench backfill. Sod laid straight onto that will look fine on walkthrough day and be dead by the second summer, which is exactly the warranty call nobody wants. We strip debris, break compaction, correct the finish grade so water leaves the slab at roughly a quarter inch per foot, and amend the top four inches instead of dressing over the problem. On the higher lots north of the expressway we probe for caliche, because base rock left proud of grade under two inches of soil will perch water and cook a lawn in a single July. Irrigation goes in before the grass and gets tested while the ground is still open. We size zones to the real pressure at the meter, use pressure-regulated bodies where static pressure calls for them, keep bed drip and turf spray on separate zones and separate programs, and set the controller with a documented establishment schedule rather than leaving a default program for a homeowner to discover. At turnover the buyer gets a zone map, the programmed schedule written down, and a plain-language watering sheet. That single sheet cuts warranty calls more than anything else we do. Grass selection on spec homes is a business decision, not just an agronomic one. TifTuf Bermuda establishes fast, looks finished quickly and is cheap to irrigate, which suits a full-sun lot and a buyer who will get the water bill. Raleigh St. Augustine sells better on a shaded lot and on the higher-end elevations. We will make the recommendation lot by lot rather than sodding an entire phase with whatever came off the truck. Scheduling is the rest of it. We work to the builder's calendar, hold slots, stage pallets where they will not block the drive or the meter, and can turn a lot in a day when the grading is already right. We carry general liability and workers compensation, provide W-9s and lien waivers, and invoice by phase or by lot, whichever your accounting prefers.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — Raleigh St. Augustine sod, Palmetto St. Augustine, Floratam, TifTuf Bermuda, Tifway 419 Bermuda, Celebration Bermuda — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Mission and nearby communities including McAllen, Edinburg, Pharr, San Juan.

Materials, equipment and how we do new construction sod packages
The difference between new construction sod packages that lasts and new construction sod packages that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with Raleigh St. Augustine sod, Palmetto St. Augustine, Floratam, TifTuf Bermuda, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Mission job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of sod installation work in the Upper Rio Grande Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
