7. How do I calculate the amount of turf required for a circular lawn?

To calculate the area of a circular lawn, measure the diameter of the lawn and then divide by 2 to find the radius. Multiply the radius by itself and then multiply this by 3.14. Eg if the lawn has a diameter of 10m, the radius is 5.

5 x 5 x 3.14 = 78.5mē which equates to 79 rolls of Rolawn turf.

We recommend you add 5% for shaping and wastage.
