Sod Installation
I’ve read a few posts recommending Shannon’s Nursery for installing new sod. I was just curious to know approximately what it cost to purchase the sod and have them put it in. I’m looking to re-sod our backyard which is 15 X 20. I’ll definitely give them a call, but was just curious to know…

thanks!
I’m wondering if Haley got any answers and any reults?
I bought sod from Shannons last season and laid it myself. It’s completely
dead now. But I’m thinking I need to let them lay it themselves!!
If anyone else has suggestions, I’d love to hear!!
We sodded a similar plot last summer ourselves – rented a pickup, went out to a garden center on LI (prices are much lower than in the city, and the stock is replenished more often…), and layed it ourselves. That part is actually really satisfying. We spent a hair over $120 on the sod itself.
..I agree, just turn the soil (I’d remove any dry grass etc. assuming the area is not just beat-up dirt) level it out with a rake, add a little fertilizer, lay it yourself…..then water it like crazy. I had my front yard done which is 200 sq ft and it cost me 500 bucks (grass included). You could do it for a fraction of that price (as demonstrated by my neighbor) if you do it yourself…..
You can buy the sod yourself at BTM or HD or Lowe’s. Just dig up the soil first to aerate it.
