Sod Cost Per Square Foot in NJ: The 2026 Math (Materials vs Installed)

Sod installation cost guide - fresh green lawn installed in Ocean County NJ

You Googled it. You want a number. Here it is.

The Short Answer

$2.85 per square foot. Installed. That is our standard rate for most yards.

That includes the sod, the soil prep, the labor, and the cleanup. Not just the grass.

A typical 2,000 sq ft yard comes to $5,700 total for a full lawn replacement.

What Changes the Number

  • Really big jobs can come in lower, priced per job.
  • Stone or gravel that we have to remove first costs more per square foot.
  • Small jobs start at our $2,000 minimum.

What That Looks Like

  • 1,200 sq ft side yard: $3,420
  • 1,800 sq ft backyard: $5,130
  • 2,400 sq ft front yard: $6,840
  • 4,200 sq ft full property: $11,970, and a job this size may come in lower

Every one of those includes old lawn removal, grading, composted topsoil, lime, fresh sod, and cleanup.
