Your eyes get a real workout when you first get a look at your sod estimate.
All that scanning to get to the part where it gives you the price. (Yup, we know that’s where you headfirst.)
Sure, price matters. But there’s more to a good sod estimate than price. A good sod company will include all kinds of helpful information, so you know exactly what you’re getting for that price.
What should be included in your sod estimate? Take a look.
Price matters. But if you’re looking at several sod estimates, don’t be tempted to just choose the cheapest one.
All sod isn’t the same. If some sod installers in Orlando offer prices much lower than others, it’s probably not the highest quality sod.
You don’t want the cheapest sod. You want the healthiest sod — ready to take root, thrive, and make your property look fantastic.
You want sod that’s been well cared for and ready to make a great transition to your yard. You want to be sure it hasn’t been sitting out on a pallet, drying out.
Our sod is cut fresh the day it’s scheduled for delivery to you, not stashed on a pallet somewhere baking in the sun.
Sod prices fluctuate throughout the year, but here’s at an example of sod cost per square foot, including removal of your existing grass, the new sod, delivery, and installation:
Most of our customers have their old sod removed as part of their new sod installation, and removal is included in the total cost.
But if you just need sod removal, plan on spending 32 cents per square foot and up, depending on the size of job, location, and the number of sidewalks and fences that are in the way and slow down the work.
If your sod estimate is for installation, be sure it lists all the steps that are included for the price. There’s a lot more to this than rolling out that new green carpet of sod.
Will your sod installer:
Not all sod installers offer a warranty. Check your sod estimate to be sure.
At Ground Source, we warranty sod for 30 days as long as customers adhere to our post-care requirements, which include treatment with a starter fertilizer, an approved insecticide, and an approved fungicide, as well as following our watering instructions. Some restrictions apply.
New sod installation is a big deal. You should be excited!
