Sod calculator FAQ
How do I measure my lawn for sod?
Measure the length and width of each rectangular section in feet, multiply each pair, and add the areas together. For odd shapes, split them into rectangles.
How much area does one roll of sod cover?
This sod calculator assumes 10 sq ft per roll — actual roll sizes vary by supplier, so check before you order.
How many square feet are in a pallet of sod?
This calculator assumes 500 sq ft per pallet — pallet sizes vary by supplier, so confirm yours.
Should I order extra sod?
Yes — 5% extra covers cutting around edges and odd shapes. Ordering slightly too much beats coming up short.
How soon must I lay sod after delivery?
The same day, ideally. Rolled sod dries out fast — unroll it and water it as quickly as you can.
