Pallets of Grass for St. Petersburg, FL
Discover the Best Pallets of Grass for Sale in St. Pete.
A pallet of sod from Bayside Sod covers 400 square feet, is cut at our farm in Bradenton the day it ships, and is delivered across the Sunshine Skyway to St. Pete driveways and job sites from one pallet up.
One Pallet Covers 400 Square Feet
A pallet holds 150 pieces of 16 by 24 inches sod, 2.67 sq ft each. Measure the lawn in feet, multiply length by width, and divide by 400; always round up, because the offcuts along edges and beds use more than you expect. Order pieces for small patches instead of a whole pallet.
How Much Sod Do You Need?
One pallet covers 400 sq ft. Divide your square footage by 400 and round up.

Measure, Name the Grass, and Pick the Drop Spot
-
Measure and divide by 400
Length times width in feet gives square feet; divide by 400 and round up. A 30 by 40 foot back yard is 1,200 sq ft, or 3 pallets.
-
Name the variety
Every pallet is one grass. Mixing varieties in a yard shows, so order the same grass your lawn already has unless you are replacing all of it.
-
Tell us where to set it down
Pallets come off the truck by forklift onto a driveway or a spot the truck can reach. Have it as close to the lawn as possible; a pallet is a lot to carry.

Coverage, Count, Cost, and Keeping It Fresh
How much grass is on a pallet?
400 square feet, in pieces that measure 16 by 24 inches (2.67 sq ft each). The pieces come stacked on a wooden pallet that the forklift sets down where you ask.
How many pallets do I need for a St. Pete yard?
Divide the lawn’s square footage by 400 and round up. A 50 by 40 foot yard is 2,000 sq ft, or 5 pallets; the calculator on this page gives the count from your own measurements.
What does a pallet cost delivered to St. Pete?
Pallet pricing varies by variety and moves with the season, and St. Pete orders carry a delivery fee we quote with the order. Call (941) 702-1746 for today’s pallet price and the fee to your address.
Can I get less than a pallet?
Delivery starts at one pallet. Smaller amounts, down to a single $3.75 piece, are sold at the farm store in Bradenton, Mon to Fri 8 to 4:30, Sat 8 to 12.
How long will a pallet keep before it is laid?
Lay it the day it arrives. Stacked sod heats up from the inside, and in Florida summer a pallet left overnight can yellow in the middle. Order for the day you or your crew will be ready, and water each section as soon as it is down.
Do you deliver pallets to landscapers’ job sites in St. Pete?
Yes. Most of what we cut goes to landscapers by the pallet and truckload, and we deliver to the job site with a call ahead. See our small landscaper and large landscaper pages for wholesale terms.
