Turn-key sod installation in Kissimmee is $1.50–$3.00 per sq ft, about $1,500–$3,000 per 1,000 sq ft. Most jobs finish in 3–7 days. Call (407) 674-2841.

That number is the complete job for a homeowner: old-lawn haul-off, grading, fresh sod, a staggered install so the first pads are not cooking on the truck, and a watering plan for the first two weeks. It is not a pallet dumped in the driveway.

Pricing checked September 2026 against Central Florida supplier pallet sheets and recent contractor-installed quotes. Ranges below are turn-key residential bands for Kissimmee-area lots, not a fixed quote — turf variety, fuel, haul-off fees, and access move the number, so confirm your line items on the call.

Installed versus delivered: what the price actually covers

A delivered-only pallet price covers grass dropped in your driveway — typically a few hundred dollars per pallet before labor. You still handle tear-out, grading, laying, and watering, and sod that sits in the sun while you prep loses quality fast.

A turn-key installed price ($1.50–$3.00 per sq ft above) covers the whole job: haul-off, grading, fresh sod laid staggered, and a watering plan. The tradeoff is simple: delivered-only looks cheaper per pallet but shifts labor, waste, and timing risk to you; installed costs more per foot but buys a finished lawn on schedule. Quotes under $1.50 per sq ft installed almost always skip haul-off or grading — compare line items, not headlines.

What moves the number

Yard size and shape

A rectangular 1,000 sq ft front is faster than a narrow lot with beds, a pool cage, and a side yard that only a wheelbarrow fits.

Soil and grade

Kissimmee soils are often sandy or sandy loam. If the old lawn has to come out and the yard has low spots, that is extra labor. That is why the top of the band exists.

Irrigation

Working sprinklers speed the job. Dry heads after install kill new sod. We check coverage before we roll.

Access

Fences, stairs, and tight side yards add staging time. We still finish most homes in 3–7 days.

Typical Kissimmee bands

  • Straightforward St. Augustine lots with easy access: $1.50–$2.00 per sq ft installed
  • Typical Kissimmee residential installs: $2.00–$2.50 per sq ft installed
  • Replacement, grading-heavy, or tight-access sites: $2.50–$3.00 per sq ft installed

A 1,000 sq ft yard is about $1,500–$3,000. Bigger fronts scale. Quotes under $1.50 almost always skip haul-off or grading.

What to tell us on the call

Call (407) 674-2841 with:

  • City and nearest cross street
  • Rough square footage (phone measure is fine)
  • Whether sprinklers work
  • HOA letter or closing date if you have one

We quote the job on the call. You do not need a form or an online tool first.

Hidden costs we put on the quote

The usual surprises are haul-off, extra fill, and HOA or access rules. If the HOA is photographing the full front, do the whole front, not a patch that shows in the next photo. Factor that on the call so the number you hear is the number that shows up.

After the install

Keep the pads wet, not flooded, for about two weeks. Rain in summer is not a substitute. Seasonal timing: best time to install sod in Kissimmee. Service details: sod installation.
