How Much Does Sod Cost?

[Anonymous]

Roughly, in the DC area? I'm sure quotes are much higher in Mclean than they are in Herndon, but what is the general cost per sqaure foot?

Order online from Home Depot.

I think we were charged like $30/cubic yard or something.

The sod itself is Somewhere around $1psf, $500/pallet, covers 500sq ft.

Call chantilly sod farms and buy a truck load direct with delivery and you’re in the ballpark.

The real expenses are in the prep, adding irrigation, And lay down. That can add another 2-15 per sq ft.

This. You can call Merrifid and just ask them the cost per sq ft; difference is probably in the amount of prep and the quality of labor.

Never ever do that.

Buy from a local sod farm so you know it is cut the same day it is delivered. We like Central sod.

Other thing about local sod is it’s grown in the same climate so right for your yard.

Home Depot gets their sod locally. If you buy enough they just send the truck from the farm to your house and take a cut of the money. They both have a vested interest in ensuring the sod survives as they typically provide a warranty that for any sod farm is up to the buyer to adhere to. I.e. proper soil preparation, installation, and continuous watering.

No, I would not buy sod sitting at the bay at their store.

So skip the middle man and buy direct.
