Assumptions & Notes
  • Area is free of debris and properly graded; minor smoothing can be done with screened topsoil.
  • Access factors (distance from road, slopes) may increase costs by ~10%.
  • We typically install through late November–early December, weather permitting.
  • Sod is great for late-season projects, around new pools, and for dog owners needing an instant lawn.

This is a ballpark estimate for planning. Final pricing confirmed after site review.
