In my parts sod farms will send a crew out to install a job. The landscaper or excavation contractor preps the site and the sod company comes in a blows it out in a day. Either with small rolls by hand or large rolls and a machine.
If the lots are small where you are there may be a 'niche' with builders who have you sod thier lots. Builders often take your price, regardless of the quality of your service, and compare it to others who use lower quality specs for the job. They will try to bring your price down to that level, even if your service is better.
Know what level of service your client (target market) wants.
Meet or slightly exceed the level of service your clients want or you won't get work or the work you get will be unprofitable because you are 'going too far'.
I'm going to tape those last two sentences on the dashboard of my truck!
