Here is the breakdown of what it took to go from brown to green in our lawn.
| Pick Mattock | $30 |
| Fertilizer | $14 |
| Rake(broke our 10 year old one) | $15 |
| Sod (2 pallets) | $270 |
| Sod Delivery | $65 |
| Drum roller rental(2 days) | $25 |
But then we sold our extra sod and pieces for $50. This was a good deal for the guy who bought it. It would have cost considerably more at Lowe’s or Home Depot. Plus it was awesome to see his Subaru Forester loaded to the gills with, just my guess here, 1000 lbs of sod. (The good, full pieces weigh in at about 14 lbs. He had 40 of those. Plus he had 50 or 60 less perfect pieces.) It was a great deal for us. For a few minutes of work posting to Craigslist and then helping him load up we saved $50 and the problem of what to do with 1000 lbs of sod.
Oh yeah. Along with the 20 or so rusted nails, the couple hundred pounds of rock and concrete, and the one red brick we found a 1980 quarter as well. So total cost for the project (not counting the free labor and what will probably be a small fortune in water) is: $368.75
