1. What is the Sod Roll Size Calculator?

The Sod Roll Size Calculator helps determine the number of sod rolls needed to cover a specific area. It calculates based on the total area to be covered and the area covered by each individual sod roll.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Area — Total area to be covered in square feet
• Roll Area — Area covered by one sod roll in square feet

Explanation: The calculation divides the total area by the area covered per roll to determine the exact number of rolls needed.
