How To Measure

Measuring Your Planned Lawn and Ordering the Sod

 

With a tape measure, measure the various areas of your planned lawn.  Include these measurements on a sketch of the area, with the length, width, and any irregular features. 
Using the formulas illustrated below, determine the square footage of sod needed.

Mark any areas that require special attention, such as steep area (erosion control), high traffic areas and heavily shaded areas.

Once you have this information, contact us and we'll answer your questions and help complete your sod order.
