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.
