Buy about 1,100 sq ft of sod.

  • Your lawn measures 1,000 sq ft. With the waste allowance you should buy about 1,100 sq ft, which adds roughly 100 sq ft of spare to cover trims and off-cuts.
  • That works out to 110 rolls or slabs at your stated coverage per piece.
  • Order 3 pallets. Buying whole pallets is usually cheaper per piece than ordering partial ones.

Next stepBermuda sod typically costs $0.44-$0.83 per sq ft for materials. Confirm the price with your local sod farm before ordering.
