The short answer
Sod on a big inland lot in Hamilton Township is priced by the square foot of lawn. Our standard installed rate is $2.85 per square foot, inside a published range of $2.00 to $5.00 per square foot, with a $2,000 minimum. That rate already includes removing the old lawn and laying composted topsoil, so the biggest choice is how much of the lot to sod.
What drives the price
- Front yard only or the whole lot. Inland lots can be large. Sodding just the front and sides gives the most curb appeal for the money, and the back can follow later. Each part is quoted on its own measured square footage.
- How much is really lawn. We measure only the grass area, not the house, driveway, beds, or wooded edges.
- Access. Open yards install faster than fenced, sloped, or wooded ones.
- Sprinklers. Fast draining sand dries out quickly, so a big new lawn is far easier to keep alive with irrigation. We can hook sprinklers up to a private well.
What is included
Much of inland Atlantic County sits on very sandy ground that drains fast and holds few nutrients. Old lawn removal and composted topsoil are part of every install at the $2.85 rate, not extra charges. Every job uses the Sod Squad Standard: a tall fescue blend, grown 9+ months, cut the morning of install, with no netting. We install sod only. We do not seed. New lawns come with a 30 day sod establishment guarantee when the watering plan is followed.
Common questions
Does sandy soil cost more to sod?
No extra prep charge. Old lawn removal and composted topsoil are included in our $2.85 per square foot installed rate.
Should I sod the whole lot or just the front?
Many owners start with the front and side yards people see, then do the back later. Each part is quoted on its own measured square footage.
Can you hook sprinklers up to my well?
Yes, we hook sprinkler systems up to private wells. Our irrigation installs carry a 2 year parts and labor warranty, and we offer a $449 per year irrigation plan.
Do you seed large lots instead of sodding?
No. We install sod only and never seed.
