Buy Sod’s turfgrass varieties, including those that are available at your local John Deere Landscapes store, are priced per square foot (sq. ft.). So, before you order or purchase your sod, you must first calculate how many square feet of sod you will need for your site.
To begin your calculations, sketch your site onto a piece of paper, and mark off areas into geographical shapes. Then, with a tape measure or wheel, measure the dimensions (length, width, diameter, etc.) of each shape, and record those on your sketch. Next, click on each shape below to see the formula needed to calculate the square footage of that shape. Finally, add up the square feet needed for each shape to determine the total amount of sod needed for your site.

Low FertilityLooking for the typical low-maintenance attributes of centipedegrass, but need a variety with more cold tolerance than the common type? TifBlair was engineered for just that reason — to extend its growth range up into the middle and eastern areas of Virginia.
TifBlair’s slow vertical growth means less mowing; its thick lateral growth crowds out most weeds; and it requires very little fertilizer. Plus, its deeper root system makes it more cold and drought tolerant than common centipede, and it holds its color longer in the fall.
Reduced inputs, plus numerous natural strengths, make TifBlair the environmentally friendly, easy-care choice. It’s a win-win for everyone.
TifBlair centipedegrass is a warm-season variety suited for Hardiness Zones 7B, 8A and 8B.
