Formula: Area = L x W
Example: A= 90’ x 50’ = 4,500 sq. ft.
The illustration below reduces the areas to be sodded around the house (A, B, C) and the backyard (D) to rectangles.
Area A = 50' x 10' = 500 sq.ft;
Area B = 30' x 10' = 300 sq.ft;
Area C = 50' x 10' = 500 sq. ft;
Area D = 40' x 30' = 1,200 sq ft.
Sod Needed = A (500 sq. ft) + B (300 sq. ft) + C (500 sq. ft) + D (1,200 sq. ft.) = 2,500 sq. ft.
Measure the width and the length, and multiply the two together. This gives you your area. Whether you measure in feet, yards or metres, you can use our Turf Calculator to do the calculation for you.
How do you measure a yard of turf? ›Measure the width and the length, and multiply the two together. This gives you your area. Whether you measure in feet, yards or metres, you can use our Turf Calculator to do the calculation for you.
How do you measure the area of turf? ›To calculate the amount of turf you need in square metres, multiply the length by the width. For example: Length is 10m and width is 5m, so 10m x 5m = 50sqm.
How do you measure the size of your lawn? ›Walk the length of your lawn, figuring that one pace equals about 3 feet. Do the same with the width of the lawn. Then multiply the length by the width to arrive at the total. Make sure you subtract the square footage of your home and driveway when calculating the total square footage of your lawn.
How do you measure for new turf? ›Measure lawn on an App
Geo Planimeter, this app allows you to drop a series of pins on to your lawn to create an accurate layout of your lawn, with perimeter and area measurements. You can switch between google maps and Apple maps and select the most up to date map.
Ideal grass length
The mowing height range for most grasses is between 1.5 and 3 inches. In general, for most lawns 2 to 2.5 inches is optimum because if you are mowing at 3 inches, your lawn may grow to 5 or 6 inches before you mow it again.
A standard size of a turf roll measures 1m2. The length is 1.64m and the width 0.61m.
How do you measure the area of a yard? ›If your lot is 126 feet deep and 105 feet wide*, simply multiply 126 X 105 = a total of 13,230 square feet. Then subtract from this total the square footage of the house footprint, driveway, and any other areas that are not to be amended.
How is turf quality measured? ›Rattey, P. J. Zarco-Tejada and I. B. Strachan, 2004 Remote Sensing of Environment, 337-352 Turfgrass quality is typically evaluated by visual observations of color, uniformity, density, and texture. Visual evaluations, however, are subjective and may vary among people.
1 yard is 3 feet long. Remember the width can change. It could be 60" wide, 72" wide or even 102" wide, but the length of a yard is always 36 inches or 3 feet. Here is a handy chart to quickly see how many yards in a foot (1 yard = 3 feet).
What are the measurements of a piece of turf? ›A standard size of a turf roll measures 1m2. The length is 1.64m and the width 0.61m.
What is the length and width of turf ground? ›| Format | Length | Width |
|---|---|---|
| 5-a-side | 40 yards (36.5m) | 30 yards (27.5m) |
| 7-a-side | 60 yards (55m) | 40 yards (36.5m) |
| 11-a-side | 115 yards (105m) | 75 yards (68.5m) |
To figure out how much sod you need, measure out the area; get the length in feet and the depth in feet. Multiply these 2 numbers together to get total square feet. Divide this number by 9 to get square yards. Sod is sold by piece and by square yard (which is 2.25 pieces).
