You only need the square feet of lawn you plan to cover. Choose how you want to measure it below. The order planner handles the cutting allowance and roll count for you.

How would you like to measure?

01Measure it yourselfTape or measuring wheel
  1. Measure the length and width of each grass area in feet.
  2. Multiply length × width for each area, then add the areas together.
  3. Leave out patios, paths, beds, and other places that will not receive sod.

Have an irregular yard? Use Google Earth below or ask us to measure it.

02Measure in Google EarthUse an aerial view
  1. Open Google Earth and type your property address into Search.
  2. If trees or shrubs hide the ground, switch to Satellite view, open Historical imagery, and use the timeline to find a clearer view. Older images may show a different yard, so check today’s boundaries too.
  3. Choose Measure. Click around the boundary of each future grass area and click the first point again to close the shape.
  4. Set the area units to square feet if needed. Add separate grass areas together and enter that total in the order planner.

Aerial measurements are estimates, especially on slopes or where the lawn edge is hidden. Check the site if the result looks off.

Check the actual lawn

Measure only the area that will receive sod. Aerial imagery may be old or hidden by trees, and Google Earth measurements do not account for elevation. Confirm uncertain edges before ordering.
