Turf Calculator

Turf is cut in full-width runs off the roll, so the roll width decides the count before the area does. Pick your turf and this lays your lawn out in that product's real runs.

Calculating for a specific turf?
Each turf lists its real roll size. Pick one and the run maths uses that roll, not an average.
Area by area

What are you covering?

Add a row for every lawn area. Measure the longest and widest points.

AreaWidth ftLength ft
Waste and trimming

Straight borders trim about a twentieth. Curved beds and irregular edges cut more, so allow ten.

You will need

An estimate, not a quote. Confirm final quantities with our team before ordering. Keep the offcuts for repairs and edging.

How it works
1

Measure each area

Longest by widest for every section of lawn. Turf runs one way, so the shorter dimension usually sits across the roll.

2

Runs, not just area

A 16 ft wide lawn on a 15 ft roll needs two runs no matter what the area says. The roll width is read from the product you pick.

3

Round up to rolls

Turf ships by the roll and the runs are cut from it. The total linear footage, plus trimming, is rounded up to whole rolls.

Common Questions

TURF QUESTIONS

The questions our counter answers most, before the first order ships.

Talk to Our Team
Why does the roll width matter so much?+
Because turf is laid in full-width runs. One extra foot of lawn width past the roll adds a whole second run, which area arithmetic alone will miss.
Which way should the runs face?+
All one way. Turf has a grain, and runs laid in opposite directions read as different colours in the light.
How much should I allow for trimming?+
Five percent on straight borders, ten on curves. Every edge is cut in place, and a curved bed wastes more than a fence line.
What do I do with the offcuts?+
Keep them. They patch worn spots and dress edges later, and a patch from the same roll matches in a way a new roll never quite does.

Now find the turf.

Landscape and pet turf by the roll, with the roll dimensions listed so the run maths is honest.
