This is true for all of the varieties of grass sod that we sell, whether St. Augustine sod, Bermuda grass sod, or Zoysia sod. We do sell partial pallets of Raleigh St. Augustine grass sod and for the Raleigh St. Augustine, you can purchase a quantity as small as one 16 inch by 24 inch piece of grass. If you want half a pallet of Raleigh St. Augustine sod, we can help you there too. We sell enough of the Raleigh St. Augustine grass sod that we can sell it by the piece and partial pallet. Unfortunately, we can’t sell pieces and partial pallets of grass sod for the other varieties of St. Augustine sod — Palisades and Floratam. We also can’t sell partial pallets of Bermuda grass sod or Zoysia grass sod. Call us at 281-431-7441 for more information.

Establishing a turf area with sod allows you to create a lawn surface that is almost instantly attractive and quickly able to withstand some amount of traffic. Prior to laying and caring for new sod, you will have to examine the surface area of your yard and order the material. For this, understanding sod basics, including terminology and common units of measurement, is important. Typical Quantity of Sod on PalletsPallets of sod typically contain 50 square yards of sod, but it is not unusual for them to contain up to 75 square yards of sod. Check with suppliers to determine the square yardage of their pallets. Converting 50 to 75 square yards to square feet requires you to multiply the numbers by nine. So pallets will yield 450 to 675 square feet of sod or cover approximately 0.01 to 0.015 acres. Determining Sod RequiredEstimating the amount of sod required for a project with a high degree of accuracy will help to ensure that you order enough to complete the job without wasting money by accidentally ordering too much sod. It is helpful to draw a diagram of the entire landscape, divide the area where sod will go into simple geometric shapes like rectangles and triangles, and measure and record the dimensions of each of these subsections. Then, calculate the area of each sod subsection and add all of these areas together to determine the total area. Handling Sod PalletsIt is often easier to have sod delivered than to pick it up yourself, as sod is heavy and somewhat messy. Wet sod can weigh 30 to 40 pounds per square yard. A medium-sized car can typically carry 5 to 10 square yards of sod, a pickup can transport 25 to 50 square yards and a one-ton truck can handle 150 to 200 square yards. If the area to be sodded is fairly large and requires several pallets of sod, plan to space the pallets evenly around the area to be sodded, planning the pallet spacing by estimating the area on the ground each pallet will cover. This will speed up the installation process and minimize the distance you have to carry the sod pieces. ConsiderationsOrder about 5 percent to 10 percent more sod than you estimate needing to cover the area to accommodate any miscalculations, handling errors and waste trim. Plan the delivery of the sod or when you pick it up so that it is laid the same day. If you cannot lay the sod immediately, place it in a cool, shaded spot out of drying winds. To store sod for more than an few hours prior to installing it, lay it out flat and make sure it does not dry out, watering it as needed. Leaving sod rolled or stacked on pallets for too long can cause fertilizer burn or kill the sod. Sod suppliers often charge a pallet deposit and will pick up pallets once you are finished laying the sod, so make sure you stack the pallets in a spot that is easy to access.
