Simply measure the area required for your new lawn. Below we have outlined a variety of different shapes to assist you with your measuring.
It is advisable to allow extra turf when ordering as you will have
some wastage particuarly if your lawn is of an irregular shape.

Measure the height and width of the square or rectangular area in metres.
To calculate the amount of turf required, multiply height x width
Example:
height 6m; width 15m
6m x 15m= 90m2
Measure the diameter of the circular area in metres.
To calculate the amount of turf required, multiply diameter x 0.80 then by diameter again.
Example:
diameter 12.5m
12.5m x 0.80 = 10
10 x 12.5m =125m2
Measure the length and width of the oval area in metres.
To calculate the amount of turf required, multiply length x 0.80 then by width.
Example:
length 19m; width 10m
19m x 0.80 = 15.2m
15.2m x 10m = 152m2
Measure the base and height of the triangular area in metres.
To calculate the amount of turf required, multiply base x 0.50 then by height.
Example:
base 16m; height 9m
16m x 9m ÷ 2 = 72m2
Measure the metres by firstly dividing area into sections of regular shapes i.e.: circle, square and triangle.
To calculate the required amount of turf in square metres, apply the formulas for each shape and then add together to form total area. This calculation is only a rough guide; it is quite hard to determine the correct measurements for such an unusual area.
Example:
length 13.5m
width 1 = 3m; width 2 = 2.5m; width 3 = 4m; width 4 = 4m; width 5 = 3.5m; width 6 = 1.8m;
3m + 2.5m + 4m + 4m + 3.5m 1.8m = 18.8m
18.8m/6(total of widths measured) = 3.13m
3.13 x 13.5m (length) = 42.25m3
