BEHIND THE NUMBERS

Clear math. Better decisions.

Purchase area = lawn area × allowance factor. Rolls and pallets are separate alternatives, each rounded up.

A worked example

For 200 square feet with 10% extra, plan for 220 square feet. With 10-square-foot rolls, that is 22 rolls. A 450-square-foot pallet would be one alternative purchase, not an additional item.

Before you order

  • Exclude patios, beds, and areas you will leave unsodded.
  • Roll and pallet sizes vary; the starting sizes are examples.
  • The cost estimate uses whole rolls. Full-pallet pricing may differ; ask for a separate quote.

Good questions.

Should I buy both the rolls and the pallets shown?

No. They are alternative ways of buying the same planned area. The cost here uses roll-rounded coverage, so do not treat it as a quote for the pallet option.

What allowance should I use?

Cutting patterns and boundaries affect waste. Measure carefully and discuss complex shapes with your supplier. The 10% starting value is simply editable planning arithmetic.
