Have you found a local sod supplier? Will they deliver or will you pick up? Also have you figured how much the sod would cost you? Do you have an estimate on how long the job will take?

I look forwards to your updates, also do a quick search on here for sod jobs as there are a log of older posts of sod jobs with price examples that should help as well.

Take pictures of the yard! We want to see.
