Frequently Asked Questions
Why add a waste factor to the sod order?
Fitting sod pieces around curves, edges, and obstacles always wastes some material. A waste factor of 10 percent is typical for a simple rectangular yard, rising toward 20 percent for yards with more irregular features like trees, beds, or curves.
How is sod typically priced?
Sod is commonly priced per square foot of coverage, which already reflects the roll size, making it straightforward to multiply the adjusted area by the price per square foot for a total cost.
Should I order extra sod beyond the calculated amount?
Ordering a small additional margin beyond the waste-adjusted estimate is common practice, in case of unexpected cutting waste or unusable damaged pieces on delivery.
