How much does sod cost per roll?

Factors that Impact Cost
There are many different factors that can affect the cost of sod for your lawn. These can include:

Sod Prices Per Square Foot and Per Pallet

- 500 sq. ft. = $200–$325
- 600 sq. ft. = $240–$390
- 700 sq. ft. = $280–$455
Per Roll
The most common price ranges for sod rolls are:
- Small Rolls (5 sq. ft.) = $2-$3.25
- Large Rolls (10 sq. ft.) = $4-$6.50
Labor Cost for Laying Sod
Labor costs are highly dependent on the company you choose, but you can expect to add $1-$2 per square foot of sod for installation.
Sod Delivery Fees
The cost of sod delivery depends on your pricing, as well as the weight of your sod, and the amount of miles your farmer will have to travel. You can expect anywhere from $50 to $400 in delivery fees.
Sod Ground Prep
If your lawn area is not ready to receive new sod, and you do not want to do the ground prep yourself, you can expect to add $1-$3 per square foot to your installation cost.
Sod Installation: DIY vs. Professional
While it can be tempting to choose to install your own sod yourself, there are certain factors to consider when it comes to DIY installation.
Tools
Do you have all of the tools and equipment needed to prepare your lawn and properly install new sod? If not, you will need to factor the cost of equipment into your budget.
Installation Quality
Professional sod installers have the knowledge and expertise necessary to install sod the right way, and for long-lasting results.
Convenience
Installing sod yourself takes time, especially if it’s not something you do every day. It’s important to be realistic about how much time you can afford to spend on DIY sod installation. Sometimes time is more valuable than cost.
Fescue vs. Kentucky Bluegrass Pricing
How much is a pallet of Fescue Sod or Kentucky Bluegrass Sod? They are both extremely similar in pricing. When trying to decide between Fescue Sod and Kentucky Bluegrass Sod, price is not as important a factor as climate, foot traffic, and precipitation.
