Last updated · Reunion, FL
Reunion is the resort golf gates — 34747, villa spines and guest-photo fronts, not ChampionsGate Blvd and not Four Corners ranch. Guest phones and the HOA both shoot the same curb. Match the street, tear out the dead pads, and expect a finished lawn. $1.50–$3.00 per sq ft. Call (407) 674-2841.
What Reunion actually wants
Resort streets sell on one color. A brown villa strip is a refund, then an HOA photo.
- Villa and golf-spine fronts: St. Augustine street match (or Zoysia only if that row already runs it)
- Hidden utility strips only for Bahia — never the driveway shot
- Check-in or listing date on the call so the truck lands before guests

Photos and curb shots — not a Four Corners packet
On the US-27 / 192 Four Corners line, some homeowners get steered into a landscape packet and a board wait (Strada is the name that comes up). Reunion listings do not wait on that hearing. Sod the front, match the neighbors, and keep before-and-after photos you can attach to the listing or the association note. The file usually closes on the next guest photo or curb walk — not on a meeting.

What $1.50–$3.00 includes
Haul-off, grade, fresh street-match sod, staggered install, watering plan locked to establishment then the legal days. Not a pallet in the driveway. Same band as Kissimmee; golf-edge and tight villa lots sit higher because haul-off and grade take longer.

Quick answer
Sod installation in Reunion is tear-out, grade, fresh-cut sod, rolling, and a first soak — laid the day it lands, not stacked through the weekend. A full install runs $1.50–$3.00 per sq ft. Measure grass area only, prove water first, and lay within hours of the drop. Call (407) 674-2841.
Does your Reunion job need tear-out, re-grade, or sod-only?
Think of it as triage, not upsell: most Reunion installs (34747) are tear-out plus grade plus sod at $1.50–$3.00 per sq ft installed. Sod-only fits the rare yard that is already graded, watered, and bare — flat, pitched, proven wet. Anything between — laying over spongy old turf, skipping grade to save a day — is how new sod inherits old drainage.
The grade rule decides most Reunion installs: water must leave the slab and the yard without birdbaths, downspouts tied into the plan, edges cut to hardscape height. Sod hides color for a week; it never hides pitch. If the ground is not ready, the install date is the problem, not the grass.
Sod installation cost in Reunion
Installation in Reunion quotes installed at $1.50–$3.00 per sq ft: tear-out and haul-off, grade and pitch, fresh-cut sod, rolling, and a watering plan. Pallet-only drops price by coverage near 400–500 sq ft per pallet, but the install line — labor, grade, haul, water — is what roots it. Get tear-out, grade, sod, and water itemized apart so you can see the labor versus the grass.
The spread is access and scope: open lots near the road versus fenced yards where every wheelbarrow crosses the side gate, thick old turf, re-grade for drainage, and haul distance. Quotes under $1.50 installed almost always skip haul-off or grade — and sod-only prices with no lay timing are a gamble in Reunion heat. Call (407) 674-2841.
Establishment water on installed Reunion sod
Fresh-installed sod is the whole job for fourteen days. Keep seams evenly moist with light daily water, walk the yard on day three to press lifted corners, and do not mow until the tug test holds — usually day 10–14. Sandy Reunion ground means you water the sand as much as the grass early on; a rain gauge beats a timer guess.
Heat-season installs need extra vigilance: sod laid by noon wants its first soak by evening, and edges along concrete dry twice as fast as centers. Once rooted, stretch runtimes longer and less frequent so roots chase moisture down — that is what survives August. Mow high at 3–4 inches through recovery. That holds across Osceola County sand.
Water proven before sod: run every zone, flag dead heads, confirm head-to-head coverage. An install onto dead zones buys a service call — prove it wet before the truck rolls.
Edges dry first: concrete, curbs, and south-facing strips bake while centers stay moist. Hand-water edges the first week even with zones running — the perimeter decides the photo.
Rainy-season timing cuts both ways: storms water new sod free, but a flooded grade drowns it. Watch the Reunion forecast (34747) for the lay week — steady afternoon rain helps, a tropical deluge on day two does not.
Rolling is not optional: pressed seams root days ahead of bridged ones. Walk the yard on day three, press lifted corners, and keep foot traffic light until the tug test holds.
Reject hot-stacked arrivals: sod that arrives steaming, yellowed mid-stack, or smelling sour sat too long. Send it back — laying dying sod to ‘see if it takes’ wastes the labor and the reorder.
When to call
Call (407) 674-2841 when the square footage is measured, the grade plan is set, and you want install-day sod in 34747 laid the day it lands. Say the footage, variety, and access — the tear-out, truck, and day slot all follow from that.
