    How to measure

    1. Sketch the shape

      Draw a quick outline of the lawn and split it into rectangles, triangles and circles.

    2. Measure each part

      Use a tape measure in metres. Round up to the nearest 10cm.

    3. Add them up

      Enter each shape above. For odd shapes, a rectangle that covers it is close enough.

    4. Allow for offcuts

      Add 5% for most lawns, or 10% for a lawn full of curves.

    Tips for awkward gardens

    For a curved edge, take the widest length and width and treat it as a rectangle, then pick the +10% option. For an L-shaped lawn, measure it as two rectangles. Leave out flower beds, paths and sheds.

    Don't worry about being exact. A rough figure is plenty for a quote, and we'll check the size before the work starts.

    How many rolls is that?

    Each roll covers about one square metre. So a lawn of 4m by 3m is 12m², and with 5% extra for offcuts that's 13 rolls.

    Questions people ask

    Do I need to measure before asking for a quote?

    No. It's helpful but optional. You can choose a rough size on the form instead.

    Should I include the area under a trampoline?

    Yes, if you want lawn there. Include everywhere you'd like turf.
