I layed about 2 pallets in 4 hours. if the ground is preped already less than that. My tiller was stuck behind the pallets anfd i had to hand till all the soil. I will never go pay until i see the sod loaded the way i want it.

Personally, I can't see a very good quality job done by 1 person that fast. It takes a little while to line the seems properly. If you don't want to have it look near seamless in the end, you can go alot faster.

Have the sod farm cut longer pieces and cut your time in half.

It will be a time consuming project that in the end you can tell if you knew what you were doing or not. Lining up the seams takes time, just as ground preparation and watering and rolling the sod when in place. Allow extra time if this is the first time you have done this.
