Calculating The Area of Your Lawn
We sell our sod by the sq.ft. To calculate your total area make a drawing of your yard and divide it into areas of one of the geometric shapes below. Calculate the individual totals and add them up for your grand total, then add about 3-5% extra for cutting and trimming.
Area of a Triangle
To calculate the area of a triangle multiply the base times the height divided by two.
For example: 20’ X 10’ ÷ 2 = 100 sq.ft.
Area of a Rectangle or Square
To calculate the area of a square or rectangle multiply the length x width.
For example 20’ X 10’ = 200 sq.ft.
Area of a Circle
To calculate the area of a circle: multiply the Radius x the Radius x 3.14.
For example 10’ X 10' X 3.14 = 314 sq.ft.
*note radius = 1/2 of the diameter of a circle.
