Sod Calculator
Estimate sod area, square yards, and pallets.
Enter your lawn dimensions to get the sod area in square feet and square yards plus the number of pallets, including a waste allowance for trimming around curves and beds.
How it works
Area is length × width. Add a waste allowance for cuts, divide by 9 for square yards, and divide by about 450 sq ft for full pallets. Order whole pallets and lay sod within a day of delivery for the best establishment.
Frequently asked questions
How much sod do I need?
Multiply length by width, add about 5% for waste, and divide by 450 for pallets. A 30×20 ft lawn needs about 630 sq ft, or 2 pallets.
How many square feet is a pallet of sod?
Around 450 square feet, though it ranges from about 400 to 500 depending on the supplier and roll size.
How much waste should I allow for sod?
About 5% for straight lawns, more if you have many curves, beds, or obstacles to cut around.
