Sod Calculator
Estimate sod in square feet, rolls and pallets.
Sod is ordered by square foot: measure each lawn area, multiply length × width, add the areas together and add 5–10% for cuts around beds and curves. A standard slab covers about 5 sq ft, a roll about 10 sq ft, and a pallet covers roughly 450–500 sq ft. Enter your dimensions to get slabs, rolls and pallets.
How does the sod calculator work?
Sod is sold by the square foot, as individual rolls (2×5 ft = 10 ft²), or on pallets (~450 ft²). Measure your lawn area, then divide by the unit size.
Formula: rolls = area ÷ 10; pallets = area ÷ 450
