Measure your lawn and see square footage, rolls and pallets. Sod is perishable, so ordering close to the right amount really matters.
How it works
Length × width plus 5% for cuts. Divide by roll size and your supplier’s pallet coverage.
Before you order
- Lay sod the day it arrives whenever you can.
- Stagger joints like brickwork and butt edges tightly.
- Water so the soil below stays moist until roots grip.
Common questions
How much does a pallet of sod cover?
Often 400 to 500 square feet, and it differs by farm, so check with your supplier.
How long before I can walk on new sod?
Keep traffic light for about two to three weeks while it roots.
