Sod is not always available at Lowes and can't be purchased online. You'll need to visit a Lowe's store to see their current selection and prices.
The size of a roll of sod at Home depot varies on the price that is being paid and the brand that is being purchased. It also depends on the variation of sod being purchased.

From the info I have from a sod supplier: each roll is 10sqft, there are 70 rolls on a pallet, so covers 700sqft
Sod is the grass that is grown and then you roll it out like a carpet. They call the places where they grow sod sod farms.
A professional installer will always roll, especially if it is for a residence. The exception is on hills or grades as it may shift the sod. Many new houses don't as they don't want the extra expense.
Sod prices will vary by type of material and the region you are in. In the south, the most common grass is Bermuda Tiff 419 and it runs 16-20 cents delivered. If you like Fescue, you can pay as much as 25 cents and Zoysia is as high as 36. You can call Adam @ A & N Sod Supply at 404-867-8501 and he will help you. His web is www.877getgrass.com.
Roll the sod out on smooth black dirt. Push the sod strips together do there is not to big of a gapso the routes will not dry out then also sprinkle little bits of dirt on gaps along edges and joins to seal. Then water a fair bit to help establish a route system. And it should grow.

2 feet x 4.5 feet. I just asked for the dimensions at Plant World (Toronto). Their sod won't be available until May 6 as its still too cold and wet (as of April 24) to cut. I remember sod being longer and narrower - nothing stays the same.

Sod rolls are 2 feet wide by 5 feet long. Each roll covers 10 square feet. A full skid of sod contains 75 rolls. Multiply, length in feet times width in feet divided by 10 = number of rolls required.
