Sod Roll & Pallet Planner

Measure lawn area and estimate sod rolls, pallet equivalents, optional topsoil, and material cost.

Enter your project

Change the starting values to match your site and the product you plan to buy.

Changing units converts your entered measurements.

1. Draw and measure your plan

Use a rectangle, triangle, circle, or custom polygon for each measured section. For a polygon, enter its corners in order or drag the numbered handles in the drawing. Move a whole section by dragging its fill. Excluded areas must stay within the included plan, and overlaps must be fixed before calculating.

The measured 2D footprint is scaled; the layer or product view explains quantities separately.

Swipe the diagram sideways to see every label. The calculated quantities are listed below.

Your estimate appears here

Enter the measurements and select Calculate. You will see quantities, assumptions, and a shopping list.

Compare two options

Calculate with one set of inputs, save it as A, then change the design or supplier values and save B. Both options stay on this device.

How this calculation works

YardSetup keeps the measured amount separate from the quantity you may need to purchase. Enter product dimensions and supplier figures where they differ from the starting values.

Rolls = ceiling(lawn area × (1 + waste) ÷ square feet per roll). Pallets = ceiling(rolls ÷ rolls per pallet).

A quick example

For 1,000 sq ft with 5% cutting allowance and a 10 sq ft roll, plan for 105 rolls.

This is a planning estimate. Review the inputs and confirm material specifications, local conditions, and delivery units before ordering.
