Our Lehigh Acres Sod Rate - Published, Not Whispered
Every sod quote we write in Lehigh Acres uses the same two numbers, in writing, before work starts: $1 per square foot installed, plus 50¢ per square foot if we are removing and disposing of an old lawn first. A standard Florida pallet covers about 400 square feet:
“Replaced” means removal, disposal, and new sod, the way most jobs run. Floratam and Bahia at the same published rate; Zoysia and premium varieties custom quoted. Want the footage measured for you? Use the instant satellite quote.
What Laying Sod in Lehigh Acres Actually Takes
Lehigh Acres runs on big lots, many on wells rather than city water. Well water carries iron, and iron stains driveways and walls if heads are aimed carelessly, so we adjust the system along with the sod. Bigger lots also mean the removal line matters more; a quarter-acre of dead turf is a real haul.
Fewer HOAs means more freedom and more practical choices. On lots with partial or no irrigation, Bahia is the honest recommendation: it establishes without sprinklers and survives the dry season. Floratam where the irrigation actually covers.
Our grass pick for Lehigh Acres
Bahia for unirrigated acreage and well systems that cannot keep up; Floratam for the irrigated front yard. Both at the same published rate.
Watering in Lehigh Acres
Well-fed systems need the iron staining checked and heads aimed off the driveway before new sod goes down.
What the Rate Actually Buys
$1/sq ft - install
+50¢/sq ft - removal & disposal
Irrigation repairs, major regrading, and stump or root removal are quoted separately and never folded into the square-foot number.
Sod Installation in Lehigh Acres - FAQ
How much does sod installation cost in Lehigh Acres, FL?
Our published rate in Lehigh Acres is the same as everywhere we work: $1 per square foot installed for new sod, plus 50 cents per square foot to remove and dispose of the old lawn first. A pallet covers about 400 square feet, so a pallet installed is $400 ($600 with removal) and a typical 4,000 square foot replacement is $6,000. Irrigation repairs and major grading are itemized separately on the written quote.
Which sod type is best for Lehigh Acres?
Bahia for unirrigated acreage and well systems that cannot keep up; Floratam for the irrigated front yard. Both at the same published rate.
Do I need working irrigation before new sod goes in Lehigh Acres?
For St. Augustine, yes. New sod needs water from the first day, and a dead zone or capped head kills fresh Floratam in a week of Florida sun. Well-fed systems need the iron staining checked and heads aimed off the driveway before new sod goes down. If your system is not running, we are licensed irrigation contractors and quote the repair alongside the sod so everything is ready on install day. Bahia is the exception and establishes without irrigation.
How many pallets of sod does a Lehigh Acres lawn need?
Divide the square footage by 400, the coverage of one standard Florida pallet. A 2,000 square foot front yard needs 5 pallets; an 8,000 square foot full property needs 20. If you would rather not measure, the instant quote tool on our sod page measures your Lehigh Acres lawn from satellite imagery and county parcel records, and we verify the footage before install day.
When is the best time to lay sod in Lehigh Acres?
We install year-round. Summer is a strong window because daily rain does much of the establishment watering, with the trade-off that you have to watch for fungus. October through May installs need a stricter watering schedule for the first two weeks. Either way we set your controller for establishment before we leave, then back to the local schedule.
