Lawn Square Footage Calculator

A lawn square footage calculator is a tool that helps you determine the total area of your lawn in square feet. This information is useful for various lawn care tasks, such as determining how much fertilizer, seed, or sod you need to purchase. Our sod pallets come with about 500 sq ft of sod per pallet.

To calculate the square footage of your lawn, measure the length and width of your lawn in feet. Then, multiply the length by the width to get the total square footage. If your lawn is irregularly shaped, divide it into smaller rectangular or triangular sections, calculate the area of each section, and add them together. 

Knowing your lawn's square footage is crucial for properly maintaining your lawn. It helps you determine the right amount of sod, fertilizer, seed, or other products to use, ensuring that you don't over or under-apply these materials. This knowledge can also help you estimate costs for landscaping projects or lawn care services. 

To calculate the square footage of an irregularly shaped lawn, divide the lawn into smaller, more manageable sections that resemble rectangles or triangles. Measure the length and width (for rectangles) or base and height (for triangles) of each section, calculate their individual areas, and then add all the sections together to determine the total square footage of your lawn.  You can also use our tool above to get an estimate.

Yes, there are several smartphone apps available for both iOS and Android devices that can assist you in calculating your lawn's square footage.
