$2.75 per sqauare yard is the going rate in DFW. Plus the cost of the sod and a delivery fee. The $2.75 price does include tilling.

Hope this helps.

It scares me that nobody else is attempting this excersize..

I have no idea what it would cost to add the loam. You might want to think about adding a little bit to the price since you'll be working in so many small areas. You'll be doing a lot more cutting since you have smaller "squares".

Good luck,
