Pallet sizes run from about 400 to 700 sq ft depending on the farm and the grass. Ask your supplier how many square feet are on theirs and enter it above.

Have the soil ready before the sod arrives and lay it the same day if you can. Rolled and stacked sod heats up and dries out quickly, especially in warm weather.
