What Does Sod Installation Cost?
Sod material is only one part of the total investment when you're installing or replacing an entire lawn. Professional installation pricing depends on the actual property and scope of work.
Factors that can affect installation pricing include lawn size, sod variety, access, preparation requirements, grading, existing grass removal, disposal, irrigation conditions, and other site-specific factors.

If the site is already properly prepared for new sod, learn more about our professional sod installation service.
Existing Lawn to Remove?
If your current lawn needs to be removed and the property prepared before installation, visit our Sod Removal & Replacement page.

Two properties with the same square footage can have different total project costs. These are some of the primary factors that affect sod pricing.

Bahia, Floratam, Bitter Blue, and ProVista have different material costs and characteristics. Compare our Florida sod varieties.
Lawn Size
Larger lawns require more sod. Each pallet covers approximately 400 square feet.
