How Do I Calculate How Much Sod I Need?
Before you calculate how much sod you need, measure the area you want to cover. Here’s how to break it down by shape:
Rectangle or Square
- Measure the length and width in feet.
- Multiply length × width, or use the calculator above to do the math for you.
Triangle (With a Right Angle)
- Measure the two sides that meet at the 90° angle.
- Input both measurements into the calculator.
Circle
- Measure the diameter (the longest straight line across the circle).
- Plug that number into the calculator to find the square footage.
Irregular Shapes
Irregular lawns are common in modern landscaping. For accurate measurement:
- Divide the space into smaller rectangles.
- Add up all the individual areas to get a total.
- Use the calculator to simplify this process.
Pro Tip:
- Add 5–10% extra to your total square footage to account for trimming and waste:
- Add 5% for simple, straight-edged areas.
- Add 10% for curved or angled sections.
