The Formula
Lawn Area = Length × Width
Total Coverage = Lawn Area × (1 + Waste%)
Rolls Needed = ⌈Total Coverage ÷ Roll Size⌉
Pallets = ⌈Rolls ÷ Rolls per Pallet⌉
Total Coverage = Lawn Area × (1 + Waste%)
Rolls Needed = ⌈Total Coverage ÷ Roll Size⌉
Pallets = ⌈Rolls ÷ Rolls per Pallet⌉
Standard sod rolls are 2 ft × 5 ft (10 sq ft). A typical pallet holds 50 rolls covering 500 sq ft. Prices vary by grass type and region — confirm with your sod supplier.
