How it works
Length times width gives the lawn area. A small allowance is added for cutting edges and corners, and the total is divided by the roll size and the pallet size.
Counts are rounded up, because a short order means a second delivery. Measure after the ground is graded and ready.
Worked example
A lawn 40 ft by 25 ft needs 1,050 ft² of sod, which is 105 rolls, or 3 pallets for a bulk order.
Questions
How big is a roll?
Many sod rolls are about two feet by five feet. Check the size on your supplier's listing and enter it in the roll size box.
Can I order sod by the square foot?
Often yes. Ask the sod farm for its price per square foot and any delivery minimum before you order.
How soon should sod go down?
Sod dries out fast. Lay it the same day it arrives and water it well right after.
