Most companies make you chase this number for a week. Here it is up front.
Our rate
$2.85 per square foot — the complete job. That includes:
- Tear-out and haul-away of your existing lawn
- Composted topsoil built into the base, plus lime, starter fertilizer, and pre-emergent
- Tall fescue grown to the Sod Squad Standard: at least nine months, cut the morning of your install
- Big net-free rolls laid tight and pressed flat with a 300 lb roller
- 30 days of aftercare, including an iron and nitrogen treatment around day 21
Real project math
| Lawn size | Typical investment |
|---|---|
| 800 sq ft | $2,280 |
| 1,500 sq ft (typical front yard) | $4,275 |
| 3,000 sq ft (front + back) | $8,550 |
| 6,000 sq ft | $17,100 |
Project minimum is $2,000 — for a genuinely small patch, garden-center rolls are honestly the better buy, and we'll say so.
What moves a quote
Access (gates, slopes, long carries), tear-out difficulty (established zoysia is tougher than dead fescue), and soil condition (construction fill needs more rebuilding than tired loam). $2.85 is our standard rate for most properties. Really big jobs can come in lower, priced per job. Areas covered in stone or gravel that we have to remove first cost more per square foot.
