Covers sod, delivery, and 1.5 crew-hours of install while protecting 30% margin ($164 gross profit).
Order 5–10% over your measured square footage — every cut around a curve, walkway, or bed line creates a scrap piece you cannot reuse. Sod is perishable: it should be laid within 24 hours of harvest in mild weather and the same day in summer heat, so schedule the crew before you schedule the delivery.
Turn this into a branded quote, then schedule the crew and invoice on completion — without re-typing a single number.
