What shape yard do you have?

Measuring the shape of your yard just got a lot easier with our lawn area calculator. You no longer need to worry about remembering math formulas or trying to find the calculator that may or may not be hidden somewhere in your desk. So read on and we’ll walk you through the process.

Getting the shape and size of your yard is the first and one of the most important parts of ordering turf, that’s why it’s necessary to get it right. If you overestimate the amount needed, you’ll be wasting money; while if you underestimate, you won’t have enough turf to complete your lawn.

Lawn Area Calculator’s Instructions

When measuring your lawn, you should break the area up into regular shapes that are easy to measure. Any shapes that aren’t rectangles, triangles, circles or semi-circles are classed as irregular and can usually be broken up into these shapes.

Although turf is usually the last thing to be installed in a backyard, don’t forget to account for any additions like decking or a pond that still needs to go in.

Once you have the required lengths for each of the shapes, it’s as simple as entering the amounts in our lawn area calculator below. Then, add the areas of each shape together and you have the total area of your lawn.

But there is just one more step. It is recommended that you order 5% more turf than the area of your yard because this will allow for any irregular shapes or for cuttings as we’d hate for you fall just short and have a bare patch, or to not be able to turf all the way against your fence.

And there you have it. Quick and easy, the amount of turf you should order for your yard. Now for the fun part, head over to our shop and select which turf will suit you and your home best.
