SCS Landscaping / Coverage Quantity

Sod Quantity & Waste Calculator

Start with dimensions or a known area, add a visible waste allowance, and use your supplier's coverage values to estimate whole rolls and pallets.

Coverage inputs

Measure the install area

Use field measurements and supplier coverage values. No customer name or address is needed.

Method And Limits

Coverage math with supplier assumptions in view.

Roll sizes, pallet configurations, cuts, curves, grade, damage, delivery increments, and field changes vary. Replace the defaults with current supplier values before relying on the result.

Formula

Area, then waste, then whole units

  • Rectangle = length x width
  • Adjusted area = measured area x (1 + waste %)
  • Rolls = adjusted area / roll coverage, rounded up
  • Pallets = adjusted area / pallet coverage, rounded up
Worked example

50 ft x 20 ft with 10% waste

The measured area is 1,000 sq ft and adjusted coverage is 1,100 sq ft. At 10 sq ft per roll and 450 sq ft per pallet, that is 110 rolls or 3 whole pallets.
