Sod Calculator — Pallets & Rolls for Your Lawn

How to use

1. Set units, then measure the lawn: rectangle, total area, or several smaller pieces.
2. Keep the waste margin at 5–10% for simple lawns; raise it for curves and islands.
3. Pick the pallet coverage your grower quotes — check, do not assume 500.
4. Read pallets and rolls to order, and the cost if you enter a price.

About this tool

Sod is sold by the pallet but planned by the yard, and every grower covers a different footprint — 400, 450, 500 and 600 square feet are all common pallet sizes, which is exactly why this sod calculator makes pallet coverage an input instead of a guess. Enter your lawn as a simple length × width, a total area you already measured, or as custom pieces for the L-shaped front yard and skinny side strip nobody can measure in one rectangle. A waste slider from 0 to 20 percent covers cuts around curves, beds and sprinkler heads, plus the pieces that tear during handling; 5 to 10 percent is the honest range for a straightforward lawn. You get square footage, pallets to order rounded up, the equivalent in standard 16 × 24-inch rolls, and total cost if you enter a per-pallet price. Sod is perishable — schedule delivery for the day you lay it. All math runs in your browser.
