Ready to measure up?
Avoid the dreaded "oops, we ran out of grass" or "uh-oh, we've got too much turf" surprises! Follow these simple steps to get your turf measurements right the first time.
Option A: Use Google Maps
You can check out our ‘how to use Google’s Measuring Tool’ here. Or;
Option B: Measure by Hand
Use the formulas below to determine how to measure for your yard. You can also download a printable PDF version of our Measuring for Turf Guide, so you’ve got all the information in front of you when you’re measuring up.
Square / Rectangle:
Length x width = m2
e.g. 5m x 5m = 25m2
Circle:
(Radius x radius) x 3.14 = m2
e.g. (3m x 3m) x 3.14 = 28.26m2
Semi-circle:
Circle calculations (left) / 2 = m2
e.g. 28.26m2 / 2 = 14.13m2
Triangle:
(Length x width) / 2 = m2
e.g. (10m x 5m) / 2 = 25m2
Unusual Shapes:
Sketch your yard, break it into shapes and use shape calculations above.
e.g. rectangle + square + triangle = m2
Varying Widths:
Measure the longest edge (length)
Divide the widths into 2m sections and measure (width 1, 2, 3, etc.)
Calculate (width 1 + width 2 + width 3) / number of width sections
Multiply by length
e.g. ((5m + 6m + 6m + 7m + 8m)/5) x 10m = 64m2
5. Add a few extra m2 per 100m2 as a buffer
