Measuring Guide


Easy mathematics can take a lot of the guess work out of measuring your turf area. Use any of the following formulas to meet your yard design or layout.
Circle
[ Circle Area ]
A = 3.14 x r2
Example: Circle's radius (r) is 10 feet. Multiply the known 3.14 by the radius squared.

Thus:
A = 3.14 x 102
A = 3.14 x 100
A = 314 square feet

Square & 
Rectangle

[ Square/Rectangle Area ]
A = Base x Height
Example: Square or Rectangle's base is 10 feet, and the Square or Rectangle's height is 10 feet.

Thus:
A = 10 x 10
A = 100 square feet

Triangle
[ Triangle Area ]
A = (Base x Height)÷2
Example: Triangle's base is 10 feet and the height (base to point) is 20 feet.

Thus:
A = (10 x 20)÷2
A = 200÷2
A = 100 square feet

Combination Free-Form
[ Combination Free-Form ]
Break the free-form area down to obvious forms and calculate each form's area. Once each form is calculated, add the areas together to derive the total area.
Breakdown to Forms
[ Breakdown to Forms ]
Example:
  1. Circle A = 3.14 x r2
  2. Rectangle A = b x h
  3. Square A = b x h

(As a rule it is wise to add an additional 10% to cover estimation and measuring error for a free form lawn)
