Use this free sod calculator to plan a home-improvement or DIY project from the measurements and product information you already have.
HomeCalc shows the formula behind the result and keeps product-dependent assumptions editable where possible, so the calculation can match the material, package or supplier you actually plan to use.
Sod is sold in formats that vary by supplier. HomeCalc calculates the lawn area first, adds the selected allowance and then divides by the editable square-foot coverage of a roll and pallet.

Calculate lawn area, then match your supplier's sod coverage
Sod is sold in formats that vary by supplier. HomeCalc calculates the lawn area first, adds the selected allowance and then divides by the editable square-foot coverage of a roll and pallet.
lawn area × allowance ÷ supplier coverage = rolls or pallets
What to check before using the result
- Measure only the areas that will actually receive sod.
- Subtract large patios, beds or hardscape areas when they are inside the measured rectangle.
- Use your supplier's roll and pallet coverage rather than assuming a universal size.
- Coordinate delivery with installation because sod is a living product.
A sod 'roll' or 'pallet' is not one fixed national size. Entering the coverage from the local supplier turns the area calculation into a useful order quantity.
