We offer small rolls of cultivated sod, each covering 10 square feet (3 square metres), which are perfect for trimming and patching damaged areas of your lawn.

In an average pickup truck, you can fit between 400 to 600 square feet (37 to 56 square metres).

Sod should be watered until each piece is fully saturated (until the lines between the sod pieces are no longer visible). To check, lift the corners of different pieces and make sure the roots are starting to grow into the soil. If the newly installed sod begins to show yellow patches, it means it's lacking moisture.

When watering, the best way to measure is to place a regular glass where the sprinkler will reach. Time how long it takes to fill the glass with 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water—for example, 30 minutes. This tells you that each area of your lawn needs 30 minutes of watering daily for at least two weeks.
