How to use this sod calculator
Measure the longest length and width of the lawn area first. If beds, patios, pools, or sidewalks take up space, use the shape adjustment to reduce the raw rectangle estimate. The calculator then adds a waste factor because sod must be cut around edges and corners.
What the estimate includes
The cost range combines sod material, typical installation labor, and prep complexity. It does not replace an on-site quote because access, grading, irrigation, and removal can change the number quickly.
Best next step
If the pallet count is higher than expected, check irrigation before ordering. New sod without reliable sprinkler coverage can fail fast in Central Florida heat.
