Sod Calculator

Estimate sod area, pieces and pallets needed from measured lawn area and a cutting allowance.

Enter garden details

How it works

Sod purchase area = lawn area × (1 + waste allowance). Pieces and pallets are rounded up because you cannot buy a fraction of a stock unit.

Planning estimates depend on your measurements, product labels, material density and site conditions. For purchased products, follow the manufacturer's label.
