The short answer
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. At Grass DFW you choose delivery or pickup at our Pilot Point yard and book at least 48 hours ahead. Enter your ZIP at checkout: if it is outside our service area, we tell you before anything is charged.
There are three places to buy sod, and the right one depends on how much you need and who will lay it.
| Where | Best for | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| A sod supplier | Lawns and jobsites: sod by the pallet, delivered or picked up | The usual route for anything bigger than a patch. Ask what a pallet covers and what delivery adds. |
| A nursery or garden center | A small patch | Mississippi State University Extension (opens in a new tab) notes that a local nursery should be able to sell sod by the piece when you only need a small area. |
| A landscaper or installer | Having it laid for you | Some supply and lay the sod. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension (opens in a new tab) warns not to assume a grower will grade the site or install the turf: that is negotiated separately. |
Grass DFW is a sod supplier with its own installation crew. You can buy by the pallet, the half pallet or the quarter pallet, have it delivered or pick it up, and add installation if you want it.
Delivery saves you the hauling. Pickup saves you the delivery charge, if you have a vehicle that can carry the load.
| Detail | Delivery | Pickup at our Pilot Point yard |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Priced from your ZIP code and shown before you pay | No delivery charge |
| Who moves the sod | Our truck brings the pallets to your address | You bring a truck or trailer that can carry the load; we load it for you |
| Installation | Optional, by our crew | Not available on pickup orders |
| Good for | Anyone who would rather not haul a ton | Anyone who already owns the right truck or trailer |

We deliver across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, including Frisco, Dallas, Plano, McKinney, Fort Worth, Carrollton, Lewisville and Denton, as well as Prosper, Flower Mound, Little Elm, Southlake and nearby cities.
Delivery is priced from your ZIP code at checkout. If the ZIP is outside our service area, checkout tells you before anything is charged, and you can still call or text us: we may be able to get there.
At least 48 hours for a regular order and 72 hours for a full truckload. Sod is perishable, so orders are scheduled for a day rather than pulled from a shelf. Need it within 24 hours? Call or text (214) 702-0622.
Whoever you order from, get answers to these questions first. The last column shows ours.
| Ask | Why it matters | Grass DFW |
|---|---|---|
| How many square feet does a pallet cover? | Pallets vary: typically 450 to 500 sq ft, according to Mississippi State University Extension. | 450 sq ft, on all four varieties. |
| What does delivery cost, and is it in the price? | Suppliers price delivery in different ways, so ask for the full figure. | Not in the pallet price. Priced from your ZIP code at checkout and shown before you pay. |
| How much notice do you need? | Sod is perishable, so orders are scheduled. | 48 hours, or 72 hours for a full truckload. |
| Do you grade the soil or install? | Do not assume it: Texas A&M AgriLife Extension says to negotiate those services separately. | Installation is optional and priced per pallet, and it includes preparing the ground. Not on pickup orders. |
| What if I need to change the date? | The sooner you say, the easier it is to move your slot. | 72 hours’ notice before the scheduled delivery. |
| What if something is wrong with the sod? | You want a clear process before the truck arrives. | Photos on the day of delivery, with the sod laid and watered promptly. |

Year-round
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.
Year-round
A Grass DFW pallet of sod covers 450 sq ft, the same for all four varieties, and a pallet of that size may weigh as much as a ton. Sod is perishable, so plan to lay it the day it arrives. To pick one up at our Pilot Point yard, bring a vehicle or trailer rated for the weight.
Year-round
Wholesale per-pallet pricing at Grass DFW starts at 16 pallets, and a full truck carries 18, which is 8,100 sq ft. You can split a truck across varieties, have it delivered to the jobsite or pick it up in Pilot Point, and book it with 72 hours’ notice. Send the varieties, pallet count, jobsite address and timeline for a written quote.
We deliver sod across Dallas–Fort Worth and can lay it with our own crew. Call or text and we will give you a free, written estimate.
