Measuring & Preparation

Accurate measurements help avoid delays and extra freight. Measure each lawn section separately, add the areas together and allow about 5% extra for cutting and wastage.

How to measure

  • Rectangle or square: length × width.
  • Triangle: base × height ÷ 2.
  • Circle: radius × radius × 3.142.
  • Irregular areas: divide the lawn into smaller shapes, calculate each and add them together.

Ground preparation checklist

  • Remove the old lawn, weeds, rocks and building debris.
  • Check drainage and correct low areas.
  • Prepare a suitable turf underlay and firm it evenly.
  • Set the finished soil level below paths and edging to allow for turf thickness.
  • Install and test irrigation before delivery.
  • Apply any recommended starter fertiliser immediately before laying.
