Accurate measurements are key to ordering the right amount of sod. Follow these simple steps.
Use a measuring tape for small areas or a measuring wheel for larger yards. You can also use Google Maps' measure tool for a rough estimate from your computer.
Divide your yard into simple shapes — rectangles, triangles, or circles. Measure each shape separately and add the square footage together.
Write down the length and width of each section in feet. For triangles, measure the base and height. For circles, measure the radius from center to edge.
Always add 10% extra for waste due to cutting around edges, curves, walkways, and garden beds. Our calculator does this automatically when toggled on.
Everything you need to know about sod and installation in the Jacksonville area.
New sod instantly transforms your yard, boosts curb appeal, and increases property value. Jacksonville's warm climate means sod establishes quickly, and with the right variety for your yard conditions, you'll have a lush lawn in weeks — not months. The best way to get an accurate quote is to contact a local professional who can assess your soil, sunlight, and drainage conditions.
Jacksonville's hot, humid climate and sandy soils make it ideal for warm-season grasses. Here's a quick guide:
Sod pallets in Jacksonville typically cover 400 to 500 square feet, depending on the grass type and supplier. For example, a typical 2,000 sq ft lawn would need 4 pallets of sod (plus we recommend an extra 10% for waste). Use our calculator above to get your exact estimate.
In Jacksonville, sod can be installed year-round thanks to our mild winters. However, the ideal time is spring through early fall (March–October) when warm temperatures promote rapid root establishment. Avoid installing during freezes or extreme heat without an irrigation plan.
