HOW MUCH DO I NEED?
 Here is a simple way to determine the amount of sod you will need. Most areas to be sodded can be subdivided into rectangles or triangles. For example, the irregular shaped area shown above is broken into two rectangles and one triangleLet us calculate how many square feet of sod would be needed
 |
| Area a is 6 feet x 6 feet: |
= |
36 Square Feet |
| Area b is 9 feet x 10 feet |
= |
90 Square Feet |
| Area c is 9 feet x 6 feet - divided by 2* |
= |
27 Square Feet |
| Sub -Total |
= |
153 Square Feet |
| Add 5 to 10% if you will use spare cut pieces |
= |
9 Square Feet |
| GRAND -TOTAL |
= |
162 Square Feet |
| |
|
|
| To convert square feet to square yards, divide the number of square feet by 9: = 18 Square Yards |

*(The area of a triangle is 1/2 of a rectangle)
