Measuring Your Area
Measure the area that you plan to cover in square feet. This is done by multiplying the length and width of the area. For irregularly shaped areas, break them down into smaller rectangles or triangles, calculate the area for each, and then sum them up.
Once you have the total square footage, you can order the appropriate amount of Cobalt St. Augustine grass sod, considering a little extra for cuts and adjustments.
Pallet sizes generally range from 400–700 sq. ft., influenced by shipping requirements.
