Houston homeowners staring at patchy lawns eventually need to know sod prices Houston TX and what turfgrass price they’ll actually pay.
Understanding sod per square foot Houston costs helps you budget accurately whether you’re patching bare spots or replacing an entire yard.
We get calls every week asking about Sod prices in Houston TX, and the answer depends on which grass you choose and how much you need.
At our Spring location, we stock Raleigh St. Augustine ready for same-day pickup, with other varieties available by special order. The per-square-foot math matters when you’re covering hundreds or thousands of square feet.
Raleigh St. Augustine is what we keep in stock because it is what Houston lawns require the most.
A full pallet costs $210 and covers approximately 450 square feet, which works out to about $0.47 per square foot. Half pallets cost $130 for approximately 225 square feet, or around $0.58 per square foot.
If you’re only patching a small area, individual pieces cost $2.50 each. Each piece is 2 feet by 1 foot, so buying by the piece costs $1.25 per square foot—convenient for repairs but expensive for larger projects.
Palmetto St. Augustine and Zoysia both cost $290 per pallet on special order. Bermuda costs $230 per pallet and requires pre-ordering.
Because we do not stock these specialty grasses on-site, please allow 1-2 business days for delivery.
This variety tolerates Houston’s heat, our clay soil, and recovers from foot traffic better than most other options.
It retains the deep emerald-green color that homeowners desire without requiring the extensive maintenance that premium varieties necessitate. The shade tolerance works well in yards with mature trees and can withstand our occasional hard freezes.
We have installed thousands of pallets throughout Spring, The Woodlands, and the surrounding areas. Raleigh consistently outperforms in residential settings where people want a well-kept lawn without having to work part-time.
Most front yards in our service area measure 1,200 to 1,800 square feet.
You’re looking at three to four pallets, which runs $630 to $840 in materials at our current pricing. That’s pickup pricing—delivery adds a separate fee based on your distance from our Aldine Westfield Road location.
Full yard replacements covering 4,000 to 6,000 square feet require nine to fourteen pallets. Material costs alone hit $1,890 to $2,940 before factoring in delivery or installation services.
We don’t sell Palmetto, Zoysia, or Bermuda by the piece or half pallet. If you need specialty grass, you’re committing to full pallets.
Our prices listed are for customer pickup at our Spring yard.
You can load your truck and save the delivery fee if you’ve got the vehicle and manpower. A half-ton pickup handles one or two pallets comfortably, but you’ll need a trailer or larger truck for bigger orders.
Delivery costs vary based on how far we’re traveling from our location at 26706 Aldine Westfield Road. Call us at 713-820-6569 for a delivery quote specific to your address—factors like access, unloading requirements, and scheduling all play into the final number.
We’re open Monday through Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
What a Pallet Actually Covers
One pallet equals approximately 450 square feet of coverage.
That’s an estimate, not a guarantee—individual pieces vary slightly, and you’ll need to account for waste when cutting around flower beds, walkways, and irregular shapes. Smart installers order 5-10% extra to cover these situations.
Running short mid-installation creates problems. The grass you laid yesterday is establishing while you’re scrambling to get more, and matching color between batches can be tricky even with the same variety.
Installation Services We Offer
We handle delivery and installation if you’d rather hire professionals.
Our crews have installed grass across Gleannloch Farms, Augusta Pines, Klein, and every neighborhood in between. They prep the site, lay the sod, and make sure everything’s ready for you to start watering.
Installation pricing depends on project size, site conditions, and what prep work your yard needs. Call 713-820-6569 to discuss your specific situation and get an accurate quote.
New sod needs proper ground preparation to establish successfully.
You’re removing old grass, grading for drainage, and often adding enriched topsoil or compost to give roots the best possible start. We stock these materials at our landscape supply yard for customers handling their own prep work.
Skipping preparation to save money usually backfires. Sod laid over compacted clay or poorly draining soil struggles regardless of how much you water it.
Landscapers and contractors should call us about wholesale rates.
Volume pricing works differently than retail, and we’ve built relationships with professionals across the Houston area who depend on consistent quality and availability. If you’re bidding jobs that require regular sod orders, let’s talk about pricing that makes sense for your business.
We harvest daily and turn inventory fast.
The grass sitting on pallets at our yard was in the field yesterday morning. Houston’s heat means sod degrades quickly after cutting—you want it in the ground within 48 hours during summer, though December gives you slightly more flexibility.
Some suppliers discount older pallets, but saving $20 on grass that won’t establish properly costs you more in the long run. You’re replacing dead patches, using extra water trying to save struggling sod, and dealing with an uneven lawn that never quite looks right.
Palmetto offers superior shade tolerance compared to standard St. Augustine varieties.
If you’ve got heavy tree cover and Raleigh struggles in your yard, Palmetto at $290 per pallet might solve problems that cheaper grass can’t. The additional cost per square foot—about $0.64—buys you grass bred specifically for low-light conditions.
Bermuda works for full-sun areas and tolerates heavy traffic better than St. Augustine. Sports areas, dog runs, and high-activity zones benefit from Bermuda’s aggressive spreading and quick recovery.
Zoysia represents the premium end of turfgrass pricing in our market. Most residential Houston lawns don’t need what Zoysia offers, but it excels in specific applications where its drought tolerance and dense growth pattern justify the investment.
Material Costs Beyond Grass
Budget for enriched topsoil, compost, and starter fertilizer.
Topsoil runs by the cubic yard—figure on one cubic yard covering about 100 square feet at 3 inches deep. Compost improves clay soil structure and helps with drainage and nutrient retention.
We stock hardwood mulch, various gravels, and other landscaping materials customers often need for projects that extend beyond just replacing grass. Black hardwood mulch, brown hardwood mulch, crushed granite, limestone—whatever your project requires.
December through February offers ideal installation conditions in Houston.
Cool weather means new sod establishes with less water stress, and you’re not competing with peak spring demand. The grass you install now has months to develop deep roots before summer heat arrives.
Our pricing remains consistent year-round, but availability of specialty grasses can vary. If you need Palmetto, Bermuda, or Zoysia for a spring project, ordering during winter gives you better scheduling flexibility
Every pallet leaving our yard meets the standards we’d accept for our own properties.
Soil thickness, root development, and overall grass health all factor into what we’re willing to sell. We’re not interested in moving inferior product just to make a sale—our reputation in Spring and The Woodlands depends on customers getting results.
Material costs represent maybe half of what you’ll spend on a professional installation.
If you’re physically capable and have the time, doing it yourself saves significant money. Renting equipment for site prep, buying materials, and putting in the labor yourself for a 2,000-square-foot project might run $1,200 to $1,500 total.
That same job installed professionally costs $3,000 to $4,500 depending on site conditions. You’re paying for speed, experience, and not spending your weekend wrestling with sod in Houston humidity.
Getting Accurate Quotes
Call us with your square footage and we’ll tell you exactly what pallets cost.
No need for an on-site visit to quote grass prices—you either know your square footage or you don’t. We can provide delivery quotes once we know your address, and installation quotes require discussing your specific site conditions.
Our phone number is 713-820-6569 and we’re available during business hours. Pricing on our website reflects current rates, but we recommend calling to confirm since market conditions can shift.
What Your Investment Buys
Quality turfgrass at fair prices sets you up for success if you maintain it properly.
New sod needs consistent watering for the first three weeks—twice daily in most cases, adjusting for weather. A programmable irrigation timer makes this manageable without becoming a full-time commitment.
Starter fertilizer helps establishment, and proper mowing height matters more than most people realize. St. Augustine should be cut at 3 to 4 inches—scalping it trying to reduce mowing frequency just stresses the grass.
We work with farms within the Houston area that grow grass specifically for Gulf Coast conditions.
Short transport times mean fresher sod arriving at your property in better condition. You’re not getting grass that spent twelve hours on a truck from another state—it was harvested this morning and it’s ready to install this afternoon.
December 2025 finds sod prices in Houston TX holding steady.
Our Raleigh St. Augustine pallet pricing at $210 represents fair market value for quality grass, and specialty varieties at $230 to $290 per pallet align with what you’ll find across the region. We’re not the cheapest option in Houston, but we’re competitive for the quality we provide.
Prices are subject to change based on farm costs, fuel prices, and market demand. What we quote you today is what you’ll pay when you pick up or receive delivery, assuming you’re moving forward within a reasonable timeframe.
