Reply to: where I live in Southern Cal. it would be around $1,000 to have 800sq ft installed ......and that would be with all the soil prep already done-( the area level and ready to lay sod). Other parts of the country would be less. You would have to call around to various landscapers in your area for quotes. If your paying someone to do the soil prep work - the cost will go up considerably

Reply to: I hate sod and did it 3 times in two different homes. I did it in this new home about 4 months ago. - I had them rip out the old grass after I hit it with roundup. Killed off the weeds. Waited 1 week after I sprayed it before they ripped it out. - Went on Craigslist and had a guy dump some organic dirt on my yard. I spread it out for about 2 inch thick. Cost about 125 dollars for 4 yards of dirt. Nasty job that was spreading it out. I put down 50 lbs of alfalfa (rabbit food) and 20 lbs of soybean meal. - Had the sod guys drop the sod. It was ok sod. - Four months later the yard looks great. The organic dirt, alfalfa and soybean meal did a good job getting the dirt "right". Your current sod is just organic material but you might want to build up the ground a bit. Dump so organic dirt and spread it out. Toss in some alfalfa and soybean meal.
