Grass Sod Costs

Sod costs depend on if you are planning to lay the sod yourself or have someone else do it. The cost also depends on how much sod you need to do your yard.
  1. Quantity

    • The size of the yard to be sodded is determined by measuring length and width. Multiply the length and width to find the square feet. Then the square feet are divided by 9 (9 square feet to 1 yard) to find the square yards, which is how sod is sold.

    Contractor

    • Sod costs per square foot as of 2009 were 14 to 60 cents for a contractor to install it.

    Do It Yourself

    • Sod costs per square foot as of 2009 ranged from 8 to 30 cents if you plan to lay the sod yourself.
