Pallet coverage varies by grower. Call ahead - sod is perishable and often requires same-day install.
How this calculator works
Sod is sold by square foot, roll, or pallet. A common pallet covers about 450–500 square feet depending on the farm.
Always add a waste buffer for cuts around curves, beds, and obstacles.
square feet = length × width
- Measure multiple rectangles and add them up
- Order 5–10% extra for cutting waste
- Install sod the same day it arrives
Frequently asked questions
How many pallets of sod do I need?
Divide total square footage (with waste) by your pallet coverage - often 500 sq ft. A 2,000 sq ft lawn needs about 4.4 pallets, so order 5.
How much does a pallet of sod cover?
Many suppliers stack pallets at 450–500 square feet. Confirm with your sod farm before ordering.
Should I order extra sod?
Yes. Curves, tree rings, and crooked edges create scraps. A 5–10% buffer prevents a second delivery fee.
