How To Measure Your Lawn For Sod
Have you been trying to figure out how to measure your lawn for sod?
Here are some helpful tips to help you figure out the square footage of the area you want to install sod on.
It is often easiest to segment the yard into rectangular sections.
Area is calculated by multiplying the length times the width.
Area = length x width
To figure the area of a square or rectangle, measure the Length & Width and multiply.
10 ft x 20 ft = 200 sf
20′ x 20′ = 400 sf
Triangle Area
To figure the area of a right triangle, multiply the two sides that contact the right angle and divide by 2
Length x Width / 2 = Area
20 x 30 = 600 ÷ 2 = 300 sq ft.
Once you have the square footage of all of the areas. Add them together, then divide by 450 to calculate the total number of pallets needed for your project.
How To calculate how many pallets of sod I need for my project
Step 1.
Determine the size of the area you plan to sod.
Step 2.
Measure the length and width of the area in feet,
Step 3.
Multiply the two values together to get the total area in square feet.
Example. length x width = total area in square feet
If your yard is 60 ft long and 30 ft wide, the total area in square feet is 1800 sf.
Step 4.
Determine the size of the pallets of sod you plan to use.
Step 5.
Once you have the total area, you divide that area by the size of the pallets of grass.
Example. 1800 sf / 450 sf (pallet) = 4 pallets
This will give you the total number of pallets needed for your project.
