How much does a roll of sod weigh? (2 × 5 ft roll, 1 to 60 rolls, zoysia slabs, per square foot)
A 2 ft × 5 ft roll of cool-season sod (10 sq ft) weighs 15-30 lb (6.8-13.6 kg). CT Sod publishes the pallet, not the roll: its 500 sq ft pallet weighs 750-1,500 lb for 50 rolls, and its 600 sq ft pallet 900-1,800 lb for 60 rolls, the same per roll. Dry sod is at the low end, wet sod at the top. Warm-season slabs (zoysia, bermuda, St. Augustine and centipede) weigh 8.8-20 lb each. Below: one roll or slab, 1 to 60 rolls, a square foot, and what fits in a pickup.
How much does a roll of sod weigh?
15-30 lb (6.8-13.6 kg) for one 2 ft × 5 ft roll: CT Sod gives 750-1,500 lb “depending on moisture” for a 500 sq ft pallet of 50 rolls, and 900-1,800 lb for 600 sq ft of 60 rolls, which is 15-30 lb a roll again. The farm does not weigh single rolls, so the roll carries the pallet’s spread: dry sod at the low end, wet sod at the top.
| Pallet | Piece | Pieces | Pallet weight | One piece (lb) | One piece (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cool-season rolls, 500 sq ft pallet | 2 ft × 5 ft roll | 50 | 750-1,500 lb | 15-30 lb | 6.8-13.6 kg |
| Cool-season rolls, 600 sq ft pallet | 2 ft × 5 ft roll | 60 | 900-1,800 lb | 15-30 lb | 6.8-13.6 kg |
| Warm-season slabs, 400 sq ft pallet | 16 in × 24 in slab | 150-170 | 1,500-3,000 lb | 8.8-20 lb | 4-9.1 kg |
One piece = pallet weight ÷ pieces on the pallet. Where the pieces are a range (150-170 slabs), the light end is the dry pallet over the most slabs and the heavy end the wet pallet over the fewest.
How much do 10, 20, 40 or 50 rolls of sod weigh?
Rolls × 15-30 lb, the 2 ft × 5 ft roll above. 50 rolls is one 500 sq ft pallet and 60 rolls one 600 sq ft pallet; both land on the weights CT Sod publishes for them.
| Rolls | Sod | Weight (lb) | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 sq ft | 15-30 lb | 6.8-13.6 kg |
| 5 | 50 sq ft | 75-150 lb | 34-68 kg |
| 10 | 100 sq ft | 150-300 lb | 68-136 kg |
| 20 | 200 sq ft | 300-600 lb | 136-272 kg |

| 60 | 600 sq ft | 900-1,800 lb | 408-816 kg |
How much does a slab of zoysia or bermuda sod weigh?
8.8-20 lb (4-9.1 kg). CT Sod sells zoysia, bermuda, St. Augustine and centipede as 16 in × 24 in slabs, 150-170 to a 400 sq ft pallet that weighs 1,500-3,000 lb, and up to 4,000 lb drenched, which puts a slab at up to 26.7 lb. Per square foot that is 3.75-7.5 lb, 2.5 times the 1.5-3 lb of cool-season rolls.
How much does a square foot of sod weigh?
Pallet weight ÷ pallet area. Use it for a lawn of any size: area × weight per square foot.
| Pallet | Per sq ft | Per m² |
|---|---|---|
| Cool-season rolls, 500 sq ft pallet | 1.5-3 lb | 7.3-14.6 kg |
| Cool-season rolls, 600 sq ft pallet | 1.5-3 lb | 7.3-14.6 kg |
| Warm-season slabs, 400 sq ft pallet | 3.75-7.5 lb | 18.3-36.6 kg |

Will rolls of sod fit in a pickup or a car?
CT Sod: “One cool-season pallet fits in a half-ton pickup within payload limits on a normal day. A warm-season pallet or a wet cool-season pallet may exceed half-ton payload.” A cool-season pallet is 50 rolls at 750-1,500 lb. For a car or a trailer, compare the weight of the rolls you plan to carry (table above, wet end) with the payload on the door sticker or the trailer plate. Pallet weights for every format are in how much does a pallet of sod weigh.
How much does a roll of turf weigh in the UK?
Rolawn, the UK grower whose 1 m² rolls (610 mm × 1,640 mm) the calculator starts from, states no roll or pallet weight on its turf pages (read 2026-09-20), so this page gives no UK figure: ask the grower. The weights above are CT Sod’s, for its own US rolls (read 2026-09-29). Rolls and cost for UK gardens are in how many rolls of turf do I need.
