What pushes the price up or down

Prep. Stripping an old lawn, hauling in topsoil, or regrading costs more than laying on a clean, level lot.
Grass type. Bermuda is usually cheapest, St. Augustine in the middle, Zoysia typically the most.
Size. Bigger jobs often come in a little cheaper per square foot.
Access. If a pallet can't get close and everything has to be wheelbarrowed through a narrow side gate, it takes longer.

How to measure your yard

Walk the length and width of each grass area and multiply. A 40 by 30 foot back yard is 1,200 square feet. Subtract beds, patios and the driveway. A pallet of sod covers roughly 400 to 500 square feet, so that yard is about three pallets. Add a little extra for cuts and odd shapes.

Is it cheaper to seed?

Seed costs less up front, but it takes months to fill in, washes out in heavy rain, and weeds move in while you wait. Sod gives you a lawn the same day. A lot of people split it: sod near the house, seed on the far parts of a big lot.
