Zoysia Farm Nurseries: Measuring Odd Shaped Lawns

Measuring Odd Shaped Lawns

Use any of the following formulas to meet your yard design or layout. We recommend planting a minimum of one plug per square foot.

Circle

A = 3.14 x r2
Example: Circle's radius (r) is 10 feet. Multiply the constant 3.14 by the radius squared.

Thus:
Area = 3.14 x 102
Area = 3.14 x 100
Area = 314 square feet
Triangle

A = (b x h) ÷ 2
Example: Triangle's base (b) is 10 feet and the height (h) from base to point is 20 feet.

Thus:
Area = (10 x 20) ÷ 2
Area = 200 ÷ 2
Area = 100 square feet
Combination Free-Form

Break the free-form shape down to simple forms, then calculate each form's area. Once each area is calculated, add the areas together to yield the total area.
Breakdown to Simple Shapes

Example:
  1. Circle (A = 3.14 x r2)
  2. Rectangle (A = b x h)
  3. Square (A = b x h)
(As a rule, it is wise to add an additional 10% to cover estimation and measuring error for a free form lawn.)
