Formula & assumptions

How the sod calculator works

Order area = measured area × (1 + waste %). Rolls = order area ÷ roll coverage. Pallets = order area ÷ pallet coverage.

For a better estimate

Measure each lawn section separately if the shape is irregular.
Add extra sod for trimming around curves, trees and edges.
Supplier roll and pallet coverage varies, so update the defaults before ordering.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How much extra sod should I order?+

Many projects benefit from a modest waste allowance for trimming and damaged pieces. Irregular lawns may need more than simple rectangles.

How many square feet are on a pallet of sod?+

Pallet coverage varies by farm, grass type and roll size. Use your supplier’s stated coverage in the calculator.

Does this include installation cost?+

The optional cost field estimates sod material only. Labor, delivery, soil preparation and removal of an old lawn are separate.
