Sod Calculator

Rolls or pallets of sod for a lawn area, with an allowance for cutting around edges.

How it's calculated

Square feet to order = area × (1 + extra %). Rolls = that ÷ roll size, rounded up. A standard roll is 2 × 5 ft (10 sq ft); pallets are usually 400–500 sq ft, so check your farm's pallet size.

Example

1,000 sq ft with 5% extra: 1,050 sq ft, or 105 rolls — about 2.3 pallets of 450 sq ft.
