The 2-minute guide

Add 5–10% for odd shapes

Curved beds and angled edges mean trimming waste. A small overage keeps you from coming up a strip short at the end.

Lay it the same day

Sod is perishable, it dries out fast once cut. Order it to arrive the day you'll install, and water it in immediately.
