What this sod calculator calculates
A 1,000 ft² lawn with 10% trimming allowance needs 1,100 ft² of sod before packaging is rounded.
Formula
Measured lawn area × (1 + waste percent) ÷ supplier coverage = rolls or pallets.
Worked example
At 10% waste, a 1,000 ft² lawn ordered in 450 ft² pallets needs 3 pallets after rounding up.
Ordering decision
Measure irregular edges separately and confirm the supplier's pallet coverage, delivery window, and installation limit.

Sod rolls or pallets for a lawn
This sod calculator estimates the ordered lawn area and converts it into rolls or pallets using the coverage printed by the supplier. The result is for landscaping area, not soil volume.
