Measure a lawn's area from simple shapes, minus the beds, paths and driveway.

Rectangular approximation. For irregular lots, break the space into rectangles and triangles, measure each and add them. That is far more accurate than one overall guess.

About this calculator
How do I measure an irregular lawn?
Split it into rectangles and triangles. A triangle is half its base times its height. Add the pieces: it beats pacing out one average measurement.
Why does lawn area matter?
Every material rate (seed, fertiliser, sod, irrigation) is quoted per 1,000 square feet. Getting the area wrong scales the error through every other estimate.
