### Is Install Sod cheaper in smaller cities?

Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. It is worth testing that against a couple of quotes in Red Deer.
