If you’re considering upgrading your lawn with fresh sod, one of the first questions that likely comes to mind is: How much does sod installation cost? While the final price can vary, understanding what influences the cost helps you plan your project—and avoid surprises.

At Texas Sod Pros, we believe in honest, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Here’s a breakdown of what goes into sod installation cost and how we ensure you get the best value for your investment.

💵 What Affects the Cost of Sod Installation?

Several factors influence the final price of your sod project, including:

1. Square Footage

• The larger your lawn, the more sod is required—and more labor too.
• Many companies offer pricing per square foot, but exact rates vary.

2. Grass Type

• Premium grass types like Zoysia or St. Augustine may cost more than Bermuda or Buffalo.
• We help match the best type of grass to your soil, sunlight, and budget.

3. Site Prep Needs

• Does your lawn need old grass removed?
• Are there drainage or grading issues?
• Proper soil prep adds to cost but ensures long-term sod health.

4. Accessibility

• Hard-to-reach areas or yards with slopes, fences, or irrigation systems may increase labor costs.

5. Additional Services

• Patch repair, topsoil, or sprinkler adjustments can impact pricing.

📊 Average Price Range for Sod Installation

In Texas, the average sod installation cost ranges between $1.00–$2.50 per square foot, depending on the factors above. For a 1,000 sq ft yard, you can expect to pay roughly $1,000–$2,500.

Note: DIY sod installation may seem cheaper, but mistakes in prep or watering can cost more long term. Hiring pros ensures it’s done right the first time.
