How to calculate the grass needed
For rolled/sod turf, the amount needed is simply the lawn area in m² — you typically buy the exact amount, without a large waste margin, since the rolls fit together well.
Estimated cost
If you know the price per m² charged by your supplier (which varies by grass type and region), the calculator estimates the total cost.
Tip
Measure the actual lawn area, subtracting flower beds, paths and other areas that won't be grassed, so you don't buy more than you need.
Common grass types
Different regions favor different turf species based on climate, sun exposure and traffic tolerance — check what's locally recommended for your lawn's conditions (full sun, shade, foot traffic).
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to add a waste margin for turf?
Usually not a large one, since rolls fit together well — but some buy 5% extra for irregularly shaped areas.
Does price per m² vary a lot between grass types?
Yes, it varies quite a bit depending on the grass species and your region.
Does this calculator include installation labor?
No, only material area/cost — labor should be quoted separately.
How do I measure my lawn area?
Multiply length by width for each rectangular section of the lawn and add the results; for irregular areas, break it into simpler sections to measure.
