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 FertilityLove free time? When it comes to the least-demanding turfgrass variety for low-maintenance areas, it’s hard to beat centipedegrass. A warm-season grass that’s particularly adapted to the southern environment — i.e., heat and poor soils — it shrugs off most pest and disease problems. Slow growing, it can go 10 to 14 days without needing a “haircut,” and a standard rotary mower easily keeps it in shape. And centipedegrass typically looks its best with only pound or two of nitrogen a year.
Look to Buy Sod for your highest-quality centipedegrass sod. Economical and hassle-free, a centipedegrass lawn is truly a leisure lawn!
Centipedegrass is a warm-season variety suited for Hardiness Zones 8A and 8B.
