What this calculator does

Enter the lawn area and get the number of sod rolls and pallets, with 5% extra for cuts around beds and corners.

How to use it

1. Measure the lawn area. Use the area calculator if the shape is not a simple rectangle.
2. Enter the area in square feet.
3. Order the result and book delivery for the day you plan to install.

Why it matters

Sod is a live product. It heats up and starts to die on the pallet after a day or two, so you want the right amount delivered once and laid quickly. Too little and you wait for a second delivery while the first rolls dry out. Good soil preparation and watering in the first two weeks matter as much as the sod itself.

Tips from the job site

• Prepare the soil first: grade it, loosen it and add topsoil if the soil is poor.
• Lay the rolls in a brick pattern with tight seams and no overlap.
• Water daily for the first two weeks so the roots reach the soil below.
