Choosing to install a sod lawn opposed to using seeding is a low-maintenance and cost-efficient way to get the yard of your dreams. Figuring out exactly how much sod you’ll need for your yard can be tricky, but it’s important to estimate the amount beforehand so that you can budget for the purchase properly. By using our online sod calculator, you can determine the exact number of rolls you need and get a good estimate of the price of the sod, installation, and delivery.
How to Use a Sod Calculator
In order to calculate how much sod you need, you’ll need to figure out the exact square footage of the area you want to cover. You can use a measuring tape or wheel to accurately measure the length and width of your yard. Multiply the length by the width to get the total square footage and then plug it into the sod calculator. Finally, you select the type of sod you want and whether or not you’d like the sod installed and delivered. Our sod calculator will then give you an estimate of the cost of the sod and break down the total cost.
Considering Installation and Delivery
Apart from the cost of the sod itself, you’ll need to consider whether you want your sod professionally delivered and installed. While these services will increase your total expense, we highly recommend them. Our sod comes in pre-cut rectangles that are rolled up and placed on pallets. Our Small Rolls are 10 sq. ft and weigh about 65 lbs. each. A pallet typically carries 440 sq. ft of sod, so it can be very difficult to pick up the sod without the proper equipment. By selecting our delivery service, we can deliver your newly purchased sod directly to your yard for easy installation. We also have a qualified and experienced professional sod installation team that will provide you with a fast, dependable, and hassle-free service. If you do decide to have your sod professionally delivered and installed, our sod calculator accounts for these expenses as well so you can get a comprehensive cost estimate.
Benefits of Using a Sod Calculator
Measuring for the area you’d like covered is fairly simple, but some more complicated calculations are necessary to determine the number of rolls you’ll need and the cost of the entire process. Using a sod calculator allows you to skip the difficult equations and lessens the chance of mathematical errors. There’s nothing worse than thinking you know exactly how much a purchase will cost and then having it be much higher because of a miscalculation. A sod calculator will allow you to budget properly for your new lawn so that there are no surprises down the line.
