When it’s time to get quotes for your new lawn, you will need to know how many square metres you require. Use our handy turf calculator to estimate your turf area.
Step 1: Sketch
To measure the area of your planned lawn, prepare a sketch including any paths, gardens, pool etc.
Step 2: Break up into shapes
Break up the lawn areas into shapes e.g. circle, square, triangle for easier calculations.
Step 3: Measure each shape
Use a tape measure to record actual dimensions (height and width) for each shape.
Step 4: Use turf calculator
Use the turf calculator below to calculate the area of each shape and the grand total of your lawn area in square metres. This gives you the total square metres of turf to order. Add a few extra square metres to your order in case you fall short or need offcuts.
Step 5: Order your turf
The total square metres from the calculator is the amount you need to order. We recommend adding a few extra square metres to your order (round up by about 5%) in case you fall short or need offcuts.

Turf roll dimensions
For reference, each roll of turf we supply is equivalent to about 1m2. They measure 1.8m long and 0.585m wide, with a thickness of approximately 30mm (the thickness of turf is only an approximation and can vary slightly depending on the conditions at the time of harvesting).
