Is Lay Sod cheaper in smaller cities?

How many quotes should I get for lay sod?
Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted. Providers serving Toronto can tell you how it affects a typical job.
