What measurement does 1 roll of Sod usually come contained by?
I'm trying to figure out if I can afford to hold an area of my yard lawn replaced next to Sod.
Thanks,
Peace
Answers: Sodded lawns are expensive, costing anywhere from 14 cents per sq. ft. to as much as 50-60 cents per sq. ft. And that cost may not even include the site preparations. Much of the cost (usually at least 50%) depends on if you are going to do the work yourself, or enjoy a commercial sodding company do the grassing work. Generally the rule of thumb is that sodded lawns are about 20 times as expensive as a seed lawn, and 10 times more expensive than a sprigged or plugged prairie.
Sod itself costs in the selection of 8-30 cents sq. ft. depending on sod kind and group and the quantities you will purchase. Also where on earth you can buy the sod determines the price. Many times there may be a local a sod producer within your area that will provide to you at wholesale prices ,compared to full retail prices at a local garden center. It pays both to shop around and then to also inspect the sod at your choice of sod supplier rather. Quality of sod unfortunately can change considerably from producer to producer.
In terms of the measurements, the 'average' size that you would find at your local garden center/home overhaul store will typically be 6.25 square feet. Professional reform companies get it within larger rolls simply because they have more emergency for it.
Hope that helps you out!
I would articulate call Home Depot/Lowe's as they seem to be to get better pricing.Last year my supplier considered necessary $4.60 a roll and I went to HD and bought the exact same stuff (same supplier) for $3.12 a roll.Pays to telephone call around.
Good Luck
