Square and, or Rectangle Turf Calculator
To measure the amount of turf required for a square or rectangle area, simply measure the length and the width then multiply these numbers together to get your m² measurement. E.g. if Length = 5m & Width = 10m then the area is 50m².
Circular Turf Calculator
A circular lawn is a little trickier to measure, but is definitely still achievable. To work out how many rolls of turf you require for your circular area, follow these steps:
- Measure a straight line from the centre of the circular area to the outside.
- This number is now your ‘radius’
- Multiply this number by itself and then by Pi (Pi is roughly 3.142)
- This number is now your ‘area’ and will tell you how many rolls of turf you need to order to complete the job.
