Sod Calculator

Calculate how many pallets of sod you need to cover a lawn area.

How Does This Calculator Work?

The calculator divides your total lawn area by the coverage of one pallet of sod, rounding up since sod is delivered by the full pallet.

Sod is typically sold and delivered by the pallet, with each pallet covering a known square footage. This calculator converts your lawn area into a pallet count.

Example Calculation

New Lawn Example

A 5,000 sq ft lawn, pallets covering 450 sq ft each.

5000 ÷ 450 ≈ 11.1, rounded up to 12 pallets.
