"Our landscaping in Menlo Park needed a complete refresh. The team replaced thirsty plants with drought-tolerant options that still provide plenty of color and curb appeal. We're using much less water without sacrificing appearance."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

The average cost to seed or reseed a lawn is about $1,100, with prices typically ranging from $450 to $1,700. The final cost depends on factors like your lawn size, the type of seed used, and local labor rates. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $0.10 and $0.20.

Here are some cost estimates based on lawn size:

  • 500 square feet: $50–$100

  • 2,000 square feet: $200–$400

  • 4,000 square feet: $400–$800

  • 5,000 square feet: $500–$1,000

  • 1 acre: $3,000–$5,880

  • 2 acres: $6,000–$11,760

  • 5 acres: $15,000–$17,640

Popular seed types for residential lawns include bahia, fescue, and Bermuda. Compared to installing sod, seeding is generally a less expensive option, especially for larger areas.

Additional services can add to the total cost:

  • Fertilization: $80–$400

  • Soil testing: $700–$2,100

  • Yard cleanup and leaf removal: $200–$560

  • Weed treatment: $110–$325

  • Mowing: $50–$210

Along with helping your grass grow in thicker and healthier, overseeding better equips it against hungry insects, common lawn diseases, drought, heavy foot traffic, and other foes that can weaken or kill the grass over time. By investing the extra time and money into overseeding, you’re lowering potential costs of fertilizer, pesticides, or possibly reseeding the lawn in the future.

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

Seeding typically takes 1-2 days, with growth visible within 2-3 weeks under proper conditions.

Choosing between sod and seed depends on your budget, timeline, and maintenance preferences.

Sod:

  • Pros: Provides an instant, lush lawn and immediate curb appeal. It's more resistant to weeds and erosion, can be installed any time during the growing season, and offers a consistent appearance.

  • Cons: Has a higher upfront cost, typically $0.90 to $1.80 more per square foot than seed. It offers fewer grass varieties and must be installed immediately upon delivery.

Seed:

  • Pros: Less expensive upfront, making it a budget-friendly option. It offers a wider variety of grass types and is easier for a DIY installation.

  • Cons: Takes much longer to establish, potentially up to two years for a full lawn. It requires more maintenance, including regular weed control, and is more difficult to cultivate.

Ultimately, if you want a beautiful lawn quickly and have a larger budget, sod is an excellent choice. If you are patient, want to save money, and prefer a wider selection of grass types, seeding may be the better option.
