Lawn & Garden Calculators

Plan lawn and yard projects, from new sod to tree care.

Yard projects often start with a simple question: how much do I need, or how much will it cost? Sod is sold by the slab, roll or pallet, and coverage per pallet changes from farm to farm. Tree trimming prices depend on height, access and what is underneath the branches. A few minutes with a calculator can save an extra delivery fee or an unexpected bill.

The sod calculator measures rectangles, circles and triangles and turns the area into pieces and pallets, using your supplier’s pallet size. The tree trimming cost calculator applies 2026 price ranges by tree height, with adjustments for access, power lines and emergency work. Each tool shows how the numbers are worked out.

Tips for yard projects

Sketch your yard and split odd shapes into rectangles, circles and triangles before measuring.
Schedule sod delivery for a day you can lay it, since it dries out quickly on the pallet.
Call your utility before any work near power lines, and call 811 before digging.
