How Much Sod Do I Need Calgary
Trying to figure out how much sod you need for your Calgary project? Whether you’re replacing a front lawn, finishing a new build, or planning a full yard, calculating sod properly can save time, money, and hassle.
A simple square footage estimate is the best place to start. Once you have your measurements, you can get a better idea of how much sod your project may require.
Sod Calculator Calgary
Use this simple sod calculator to get a quick estimate for your lawn area. Enter the length and width in feet to calculate your approximate square footage and estimated number of pallets.
Step 1: Measure Your Lawn Area
Start by measuring the length and width of the lawn area in feet. Multiply those two numbers to get your total square footage.
If your lawn has multiple sections, measure each area separately and then add the totals together for a rough estimate.
Step 2: Add Extra for Waste and Cuts
It is usually smart to order a little extra sod for trimming, shaping, edges, and irregular areas.
- Add 5% to 10% for simple rectangular lawn areas
- Add 10% to 15% for curved, angled, or more detailed layouts
- Allow a little extra if access is tight or measurements are approximate
How Many Square Feet Are in a Pallet of Sod?
A standard pallet of sod typically covers around 700 square feet.
This can vary slightly depending on how the sod is cut and stacked, but 700 square feet is a reliable estimate for most Calgary sod orders.
Quick Sod Estimate Examples
- 300 to 700 sq ft = about 1 pallet
- 700 to 1400 sq ft = about 1 to 2 pallets
- 1400 to 2100 sq ft = about 2 to 3 pallets
- 2100+ sq ft = 3+ pallets
These are general estimates to help homeowners, builders, and contractors plan a sod order in Calgary.
