What sod installation costs in North DFW

Installed — removal, prep, laying, and watering-in included — our rates run $[X.XX] per square foot for Tifway 419 Bermuda, $[X.XX] for Raleigh or Palmetto St. Augustine, and $[X.XX] for Palisades or Zeon Zoysia at normal access. Larger projects improve the per-foot number; the exact figure is one flat quote after a free measure.

A pallet covers about 450 square feet, which puts installed pallet math at roughly $[XXX] for Bermuda up through $[XXX] for premium Zoysia — including the demo and prep that pallet-only prices quietly leave out. Material alone runs about a third of those numbers.

A 2,000 sq ft front yard — the most common project we quote — runs four to five pallets and lands around $[X,XXX]–$[X,XXX] installed depending on variety and the condition of what we're removing. Front-and-back together prices better per foot than two separate projects.

Scope, mostly: the low quote often excludes demo, haul-off, real soil prep, or sprinkler adjustments — each of which returns as an extra or as a lawn that fails in year two. Compare quotes by what's itemized, not by the bottom line, and ask specifically who raises the sprinkler heads to the new grade.

On materials, yes — pallets run about a third of installed cost. The rest is a sod cutter rental, haul-off of surprisingly heavy old turf, soil work, and laying thousand-pound pallets the same day they arrive, because sod is produce. Fit and motivated, it's a real option; half-finished DIY weekends are also a quote category we know well.

Ours does — removal, haul-off, grade correction, and soil prep are in the per-foot rate at normal conditions, and anything unusual (rock, roots, a weed jungle) gets priced at the measure, not discovered on your invoice. “Installed” prices that exclude demo aren't installed prices.

Bermuda installs cheapest and is genuinely the right answer for full-sun yards. It's the wrong answer under trees, where it thins and dies regardless of price — there the “shade tax” of St. Augustine is cheaper than replacing Bermuda twice. Sunlight picks the shortlist; budget picks within it.

Yes — mobilization, demo equipment, and delivery cost the same for 400 feet as for 4,000, so per-foot rates improve with scale. If front and back both need help, quoting them together is the honest money-saver we'll suggest ourselves.

In ours, yes — and it's the line that separates us. New grade means heads raised and arcs re-verified, done by the Texas Licensed Irrigator (LI0026061) quoting the job. Sod-only crews bill sprinkler damage back as an extra or leave heads buried under the new turf. See sprinkler head repair.

Prices are steadier than people expect — sod farms cut year-round here. The real seasonal money is in establishment risk: spring installs root fast and forgive mistakes; high-summer installs work but burn water; and winter installs sit dormant, which in Frisco means hand-watering through the spray ban. We'll tell you what your timing buys and costs.

No — the on-site measure and flat quote are free. We measure precisely, map the sun, check access and the sprinklers, and the number arrives in writing. It doesn't move after approval.

Yes — pallet-or-less patches matched to your existing variety start at $[XXX], common after trenching, utility work, or our own leak repairs. Matching the cultivar matters; we'll ask for a photo of your existing grass.

No — these rates hold across the territory: Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, and Dallas. What differs by city is the watering rules for establishment — each city page covers its own.
