Common questions
What Twin Cities homeowners ask before booking sod installation
Site condition affects the number too. New build properties where the ground is already prepped cost less, since ground prep is the most labor-intensive part of the job. Call us for a free estimate and we'll give you an actual number.
Larger or more complex properties take longer. But a typical front or back yard gets done in a day.
If your timing is flexible and you're getting a sprinkler system installed with us, July is worth considering. That's when we offer some of our better discounts.
If you're worried about sod taking root in the heat, that's what the Establishment Plan is for. We guarantee rooting. So timing matters less than most people assume going in.
Worth knowing: we have never had a customer with an Irrigreen system lose their sod. Every installation has taken root. The consistent, automated watering makes a real difference, and at this point we're confident enough in those results to back them up.
