The short answer
Sod is sold by the pallet, and a pallet covers 450 sq ft, so the price per square foot is the pallet price divided by 450. The live table below shows today’s price per pallet and per square foot for each variety. That price is for the sod only: delivery, optional installation and sales tax are separate lines.
In Dallas–Fort Worth, sod is priced by the pallet, and each variety has its own price. The table reads today’s prices straight from our catalog, so it matches what we would put in writing for you. We keep dollar amounts out of the text on purpose: they change, and a number typed into a guide goes stale the next day. This guide is about the price of the sod itself, per pallet and per square foot. For the installed cost of your own yard, use the sod installation cost calculator.
| Variety | Per pallet | Covers (sq ft) | Per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bermuda 419 | $250 | 450 | $0.56 |
| St. Augustine Palmetto | $310 | 450 | $0.69 |
| Zoysia Palisade | $350 | 450 | $0.78 |
| Zoysia Zeon | $350 | 450 | $0.78 |
If you want it laid: $500 per pallet installation · sod priced separately · old-lawn removal included
Live prices from our catalog, for the sod only. Delivery (priced from your ZIP code), optional installation and sales tax are separate. Half and quarter pallets are on the sod page.
Read it left to right: what one pallet costs, how much lawn it covers and the price per square foot. That last column is the one to use when you compare quotes from different suppliers.
Divide the pallet price by the square feet it covers. With 450 sq ft to a pallet, that is the “Per sq ft” column in the table. We also sell half pallets (225 sq ft) and quarter pallets (112.5 sq ft), each with its own price on the sod page, so check the per-square-foot figure before you pick a size.
Keep in mind that this figure is the sod alone. What you pay per square foot of finished lawn also includes delivery and, if you want it laid for you, installation.
The pallet price covers the sod and nothing else. Three other lines can show up on your order, and it helps to know which is which before you compare quotes.
| Line | In the pallet price? | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Sod | Yes | One price per pallet and per variety. 450 sq ft to a pallet. |
| Delivery | No | Worked out from your ZIP code at checkout and shown to you before you pay. If you pick up at our Pilot Point yard, there is nothing to pay for delivery. |
| Installation | No | Optional, priced per pallet. Our crew prepares the ground, removes the old lawn, lays the sod tile to tile and cleans up. Not available on pickup orders. |
| Sales tax | No | Added at checkout, based on your ZIP code. |
Two quotes can look far apart and still come to the same money once you line them up. Check three things.
When every quote is in price per square foot, with delivery and any services added, the comparison is honest.
The table gives you the price of the sod. For your total you need your own square footage. There are three ways to get it:

Year-round
Measure the area to be sodded in square feet, add 5% to 10% for cuts and divide by 450, the coverage of one pallet, then round up. For example, a 1,000 sq ft lawn with a 10% margin needs 1,100 sq ft: 3 whole pallets, or 2 pallets plus a half pallet.

In DFW you can buy sod from a sod supplier by the pallet, delivered or picked up, from a nursery for a small patch, or from a landscaper who supplies and lays it.

Enter your ZIP at checkout: if it is outside our service area, we tell you before anything is charged.
