FAQ
- How much extra sod should I buy? Most lawns use 5–10% waste; complex curves may need more.
- Are sod roll sizes standard? Roll sizes vary by supplier, so confirm the square footage per roll.
- Should I round up rolls or pallets? Yes. Sod is sold in whole rolls and pallets, so round up for ordering.
Assumptions
- Total area is length × width of the lawn.
- Waste accounts for trimming and fitting irregular edges.
- Roll and pallet coverage varies by supplier; confirm exact sizes.
Example
A 30 ft × 20 ft lawn with 10% waste needs about 66 rolls or 2 pallets of sod.
