How Big Are Sod Pallets?

Sod is a way to have a green lawn right away. You will need to have the sod delivered, or you can pick it up if you have a large enough truck or a trailer to accommodate the pallet size and weight.
  1. Size

    • Generally, pallet sizes are 4-by-4 feet. Each pallet holds 450 square feet or 50 square yards of sod. Each pallet holds 171 pieces of sod measuring 16 inches wide by 24 inches long and 1 inch thick.

    Weight

    • A pallet of sod will weigh about 2,000 to 2,500 lbs. or 1 to 1-1/2 tons. One piece of sod weights approximately 14 to 15 lbs.

    Hauling

    • One pallet of sod can be hauled with a ¾-ton pickup truck. Two pallets can be hauled on a 16-foot trailer with two axles. For a trailer with one axle, only one pallet can be hauled.
