You’ve done your research and decided on the right lawn for your site — what’s the next step? Well getting proper measurements for your site will help you know how much turf you need to order.
Measuring properly when it comes to the dimensions of your new lawn will help you save time, money and heartache. Make sure you use the same units of measurement for all parts of your measuring.
Break up the area into simple shapes
Working with simple geometric shapes will help you assess the area you have to cover and will make your calculations easier.
Rectangles and squares
When it comes to working with rectangles and squares, all you need to do is multiply the height by the length (h x l).
Triangles
When it comes to triangles, multiple the height by half the base: h x (0.5 x b).
Add an extra 5% – just in case!
Add the areas of all your shapes together, but then add an extra 5% just in case! Remember nobody is perfect.
