Sod Coverage Calculator
Calculate how much sod you need for your lawn area
About this calculator
The Sod Coverage Calculator helps homeowners and landscapers determine the exact amount of sod needed for lawn installation or renovation projects. By calculating the square footage of your lawn area, this tool prevents costly over-ordering or project delays from under-ordering. It accounts for different area shapes and provides accurate measurements to ensure you purchase the right amount of sod for complete coverage, saving both time and money on your landscaping project.
How to use
Enter the dimensions of your lawn area in feet, including length and width for rectangular spaces or radius for circular areas. For irregular shapes, break them into smaller sections and calculate each separately. The calculator will instantly provide the total square footage of sod needed for your project.
Frequently asked questions
How much extra sod should I order?
Order 5-10% extra sod to account for cutting waste, irregular shapes, and potential future repairs or touch-ups.
What if my lawn has an irregular shape?
Break irregular areas into smaller rectangles, triangles, or circles, then calculate each section separately and add them together.
Does the calculator account for obstacles like trees?
No, subtract the square footage of trees, walkways, or other obstacles from your total calculated area manually.
