How Many Pieces of Sod Do You Get When You Buy a Pallet of Grass?
When you purchase a pallet of grass, how much area will that pallet cover? Do you save much money by buying a pallet of grass instead of grass by the piece?

This is a summary of Michael’s video.
How many pieces of sod are there on a pallet of grass? To make 50 square yards, you have to put 165 pieces of sod grass on a pallet and those are the 16 by 24-inch pieces.
At our farm, we actually throw on five extras. At our farm, they call them “170s”, because the little ticker on the harvesting machine counts 170 pieces. That’s when they stop stacking the grass on the pallet is at 170 pieces, so you’re actually getting a few extras.
In the middle of summer, if the top layer of grass sits out in the sun for a little bit too long, it can burn those top pieces up. So maybe that might be one of the reasons for them throwing on the extra. But you can be rest assured that if you buy a 50-yard pallet from us, you’re absolutely getting 50 yards of top-quality grass for sure. You will not be shorted grass.
