Wholesale Sod in DFW: How Truckloads and Mixed Orders Work

Updated 4 min readGrass DFW team

The short answer

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.

What counts as a wholesale sod order?

Wholesale per-pallet pricing starts at 16 pallets, and a full truckload is 18. You do not have to buy a full truck: we sell by the pallet, by the half-truck and by the full truckload, and a smaller job still gets the regular per-pallet price.

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. Wholesale rates apply from 16 pallets.

The second table reads live prices from our catalog: the regular price of a pallet next to the wholesale price, and what each works out to per square foot. Dollar figures stay out of the text because they change, and the table is the source. The wholesale page shows the same rates next to the quote form.

How does a full truckload work?

A full truck carries 18 pallets. At 450 sq ft each, that is 8,100 sq ft of sod on one truck.

You can split the truck by variety however the job needs it: for example, 10 pallets of Bermuda 419 and 8 of Zoysia on the same load. Tell us the split when you request the quote.

How far ahead should contractors order?

72 hours’ notice is enough for a wholesale load. Sod is perishable, so a load is scheduled for your install date instead of coming off a shelf. Need it sooner? Call or text (214) 702-0622.

If your install date moves, call as soon as you know so we can find your load a new slot. A change to a scheduled load follows the same 72-hour rule as any other order: see our delivery policy.

Delivery to the jobsite or pickup in Pilot Point?

  • Delivery. Pallets and truckloads go to jobsites across the metroplex. The rate depends on the distance from our Pilot Point yard and the size of the load, and it is confirmed in your written quote before anything ships. The wholesale page shows the current starting rate.
  • Pickup. Bring your own trailer and load at our yard, 13380 Tischler Rd, Pilot Point, TX 76258, instead of paying for delivery. Check the trailer’s rating against the load: pallets are heavy, and what comes on a pallet of sod explains how heavy.

What should be ready on the jobsite?

Sod is perishable and heavy, so a delivery goes best when the site is ready before the truck arrives.

  • The ground. Mississippi State University Extension (opens in a new tab) says to finish site preparation before the sod is delivered. On new construction and full lawn replacements, we can grade and prep the soil so the pad is sod-ready before the pallets land.
  • Access and drop spots. Tell us about gates, access and where the pallets should go.
  • The crew. Our policy asks for the sod to be laid and watered within 12 hours of delivery, so schedule your crew for the day the pallets land.
  • Photos for any concern. A concern about the sod has to be reported with photos on the delivery day, so have someone on site who can take them.
  • Laying it, if you want us to. Sod is our focus, and our crew installs it as an optional service, so one number can cover the pallets and the install.

Can you set up recurring orders?

Yes. For crews building the same lawns week after week, we set up recurring supply and build the delivery calendar around your schedule. Send us the schedule and we plan from there.

How do you get a wholesale quote?

Send us four things:

  • The varieties and the split, for example how many pallets of each.
  • The pallet count. Still working it out? See how many pallets of sod you need.
  • The jobsite address, so we can price the delivery.
  • Your timeline: the install date, or the weekly schedule.

We come back with wholesale pricing for your order, with a same-day response on most requests.

How Many Pallets of Sod Do I Need? Measure and Calculate

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.
