How to Measure Your Lawn Area

Before starting your lawn project, you need to measure your yard properly. Our calculator makes it easy to work out how much turf you need. Just follow the steps below to calculate your total square metres and get ready to order your preferred grass variety.

Step 1: Select the Shape of Your Lawn

Pick the shape that best matches your site. Use square, rectangle, triangle, or circle. The turf calculator will give you a result based on each shape. You can add more than one area to calculate the full project size.

Step 2: Measure the Length and Width

Take a tape measure and record the length and width in metres. If you're measuring a circle, use the diameter. Write your numbers down so you can enter them into the calculator without guessing.

Step 3: Calculate the Area

Multiply length by width for squares and rectangles. Use the correct formula for other shapes. The calculator handles the maths for you and gives you the final total. Repeat this for each section of your lawn.

Step 4: Break Down Complex Areas

Split complex irregular areas into smaller, simple shapes. Measure each shape and enter the numbers one by one. The calculator adds them all together to give you the total area.

Step 5: Choose the Grass You Want

Once you know how much turf is needed, scroll down and select a grass type. You can pick from premium options like Sir Walter, Sir Grange, or Tiftuf Bermuda. See the price per square metre, then request a free quote for delivery and installation service.

What Turf Type Should You Choose?

The right grass can make a significant difference. Before you order, take note of the conditions around your yard. Some turf varieties grow better in full sun, while others suit shaded or high-traffic areas. Think about how you use the space. Then match your needs with the right grass.

Start with your measurements. Use the calculator above to work out the amount of turf needed. The result indicates the amount of grass required to fully cover your site.

Here’s a quick example. If your front yard is 5 metres by 10 metres, that’s 50 square metres. If the back has different shapes, divide each area and add them all together. This gives you the total turf you’ll need.

Musturf offers premium grass varieties grown locally. Choose Sir Walter for a hardy lawn that thrives in both sun and shade. Choose Tiftuf Bermuda for a drought-tolerant option that retains its colour all year. Or try Sir Grange for a finer look with low maintenance. Each turf is backed by quality, and available with quick delivery and expert support.
