Calculate turf needed

Each house’s yard is unique and can come in various shapes and sizes. It’s not always easy to know how many rolls of turf you are going to need for your garden.

Turf calculator for any shape or sized yard

Getting the shape and size of your yard is the first and one of the most important parts of ordering turf. That’s why we’re here to help you get it right.

Regardless of whether your yard is square, rectangle, round or a misshape, our calculator can help ensure you have the right amount of turf.

Whatever the shape of your yard, you should break the area up into regular shapes to make it easier to calculate the area of turf needed.

Any shapes that aren’t rectangles, triangles, circles or semi-circles are classed as irregular and can usually be broken up into these shapes. Although turf is often the last thing to be installed in a backyard, don’t forget to account for any additions, such as decking or a pond, that still need to go in.

Once you have the required lengths for each of the shapes, it’s as simple as entering the amounts in our lawn area calculator below. Add the areas of each shape together and you have the total area of your lawn.

It is recommended that you order 5% more turf than the area of your yard because this will allow for any irregular shapes or for cuttings.

There’s nothing worse than falling just short and having a bare patch, or to not be able to turf all the way against your fence.
