Our yard in Heights was very large (over 40 pallets worth). Since the whole truck was coming to our house, they comped the delivery charge. I went with a guy out of Belton, but I would have to say I was less than thrilled with the job. He kept miscaluclating and telling me that it would be "this much more" until I finally told him to essentially kiss my hiney and just finish with what he had.
Lots of the grass didn't take well either. If I was only buying a couple of pallets, I would pay extra and get the Zoysia. It is much more drought resistant.

yeow, zoysia and st. augustine are both better in bell county than bermuda for lawn purposes.......i would love to get some zoysia but don't think there's anyone in the county that has it. oma's told me once, maybe 5 years ago, that they could special order it for me but would have to take a minimum of 6 pallets......mac

depends on what the situations is for the type of grass. If you do no0t have any shade, bermuda does better and will hold up to dogs better. St Augustine does better in shade.

Well neither does very well in my no mans land...lol.
There is a spot in our yard shaded by our tree that will only grow weeds, but at least they're green weeds.

Zoysia can be purchased at Bell County Sod. It is about 5 miles east of Killeen on 190. North side of the highway.

You can go to Lowe's and they will order a pallet of Bermuda for you. That is what we did. It was $99 at the time.

That's the place on Stan Schleuter. Order it by Wednesday, they cut it on Thursday and it is in Killeen on Friday. We just finished laying three pallets of it around the pool. One last weekend, two this weekend.
Price was a little high, $139 out the door, but it is sod and it isn't nasty St. Augustine! lol
