Measuring & Ordering
Measuring
Make a sketch of the area to be landscaped. Measure the length and the width and indicate these on your sketch. Multiply length x width to get the area. For irregular shaped areas, break the area into two (or more) smaller areas. For triangles, measure length x width and divide by 2.
Add up total area to be sodded. If area was measured in feet, divide the total square feet by 9 to get total square yards.
Ordering

Pick-Ups
If picking up your sod, please consider the following suggestions:
- One pallet of sod will weigh
approximately 2500 lbs. Weight may vary slightly depending on
grass type, season, or moisture level.
- Make sure you have the proper
vehicle to haul your sod. Generally, a 1/2 ton pickup truck can
handle one pallet of our sod.
- You should also bring ratchet straps or rope to tie down your load. If your truck has a plastic bed-liner, you may wish to set a sheet of plywood in the bed to avoid damage to the liner.
