How to measure an area for sod (sq.ft.)
Use the following methods to figure out how many
square feet the area is you want to sod. It is best to run out of sod than to have too
much due to its perishable nature. All of our sod is sold by the square foot (sq.ft.) so
please measure in feet.
The following is how to measure different shaped areas. Get a
piece of paper & a pencil and draw the areas to be sodded. Measure the areas and write
down your measurements on the drawing. Break up the areas into the shapes below and figure
out the square footage of each area. Add up all the totals from the different shapes and
you will know how many square feet of sod you need.
*We can not take back sod once it has left our farms or been
delivered at your house. If you run out, we always have more. This is a guide to help you
measure accurately. Check your numbers twice. We can not and do not take responsibly for
footage figures unless we measure it ourselves. We do not figure areas from your numbers. |
