Measuring Area

• Using a tape measure, measure and sketch the area to be turfed
• Proper measuring ensures proper turf amounts
• Determine the total square feet of your area to be turfed
• For a Square or Rectangle, the area  = Length x Width

• For a Triangle, the area = Base (a) x Height (b) divided by 2

• For a Circle, take the radius (that’s half the distance across the middle of the circle) and square it.
• If the circle is 20 feet across, take half of that (10) and multiply it by its self.
• Circle’s Area = 3.14 x Radius²
• For example: 10 x 10 = 100, or 10² = 100, you would now multiply it with 3.14,
  which is 100 x 3.14 = 314, therefore the area of a 20 foot circle would be 314 square feet.

• For irregular shapes break down the areas into rectangles, right triangles, and or circles, then calculate

We recommend adding 5-10% extra to allow for angles and edging
