How Do I Know How Much Sod I Need for My Yard?

After determining that your lawn needs new grass, it’s time to measure how much sod to order. Using the standard method, a calculator is used to mark sections of the lawn to take a “best guess” as to how many square feet to order. Greatly overestimating or more frequently, underestimating the actual amount has been a headache for homeowners over the years.

Try this Area Calculator to remove much of the guesswork. This tool renders a pretty close estimate as to how much sod a given area requires. (Note: Remember when ordering, it’s always better to order 10% more than you think will be needed.)
