A 2 x 5 roll of Bermuda sod typically weighs between 30 to 40 pounds. The weight can vary depending on the moisture content of the sod and the specific type of Bermuda grass used. Generally, it's important to handle the rolls carefully, especially when they are freshly cut and heavier due to moisture.
The size of a roll of sod at Home depot varies on the price that is being paid and the brand that is being purchased. It also depends on the variation of sod being purchased.
Sod prices will vary by type of material and the region you are in. In the south, the most common grass is Bermuda Tiff 419 and it runs 16-20 cents delivered. If you like Fescue, you can pay as much as 25 cents and Zoysia is as high as 36. You can call Adam @ A & N Sod Supply at 404-867-8501 and he will help you. His web is www.877getgrass.com.

Sod is not always available at Lowes and can't be purchased online. You'll need to visit a Lowe's store to see their current selection and prices.
Bermuda is a warm season grass (it goes dormant in the winter), so it is not advised to plant after August. The sod needs warm temperatures for several weeks to product healthy roots.
The cost of installing Bermuda Tiff 419 sod typically ranges from $0.90 to $1.50 per square foot, including both the sod and installation labor. Factors such as location, site preparation, and delivery fees can influence the final price. For a standard residential lawn, this could amount to approximately $1,500 to $3,000 for a typical yard size of 1,500 to 2,000 square feet. It's advisable to obtain quotes from local suppliers for a more accurate estimate.
The cost of a pallet of Bermuda sod typically ranges from $120 to $250, depending on factors such as the supplier, location, and quality of the sod. Prices can also vary based on seasonal demand and additional delivery fees. It's advisable to check with local suppliers for the most accurate pricing in your area.

The weight of sod can vary depending on its moisture content and type, but a general estimate is that fresh sod weighs about 15 to 30 pounds per square yard. Assuming standard sod rolls are 2 feet by 5 feet (10 square feet), 265 feet of sod would be approximately 26.5 square yards. Thus, 265 feet of sod could weigh between 400 to 800 pounds, depending on its moisture content and type.
I am not sure of the 'official' answer, but we put zoysia down in our backyard over the top of an established burmuda grass and it has done very well... we first ran a rototiller over the top of the burmuda and took out the 'clumps' of burmuda grass that this created... smoothed it with a rake and then laid the zoysia sod on top... it now looks great.... hope this helps...
From the info I have from a sod supplier: each roll is 10sqft, there are 70 rolls on a pallet, so covers 700sqft
The price of a roll of grass sod at Lowe's typically ranges from $0.30 to $0.80 per square foot, depending on the type of grass and regional availability. A standard roll usually covers about 2.5 square feet, so you can expect to pay between $0.75 and $2.00 per roll. Prices may vary by location and season, so it's best to check your local store or the Lowe's website for the most accurate pricing.
