Remember, these are averages—your exact price will depend on your unique yard.
1. Yard Size
The bigger the yard, the more sod and labor are required. Costs increase proportionally.
2. Grass Type
Different sod varieties have different prices. For example, Bermuda is often more affordable, while Zoysia and St. Augustine may cost more due to higher demand or special growing conditions.
