Measuring Lawn Area

Measuring your turf area is generally fairly straight forward, however, it is important that you take care to be accurate and double check your measurements.

To establish how much turf you will need, measure the length and the width of the area you want to lay Prepare your site and measure your turf areayour new turf. Multiply the length and width figures together to obtain the area (Turf L x Turf W = Turf m²).

If you have any unusual shaped areas you can divide these areas up into more square or rectangular shapes then add each shape together. Take a look at this short lawn measurement video for help with unusual shaped measurements. 

Sunnyside Instant Lawn harvest our turf in slabs . Each slab of turf is approx 0.5m². (2 x 0.5m² slabs = 1m²).

It is a good idea to order a few extra m² just to ensure you can complete your job.

If you need any assistance to measure your area we're happy to assist, just supply us with a drawing showing the shapes and measurements of your area. Call us or email us at your convenience.




Garden Planning and Lawns Tips

In most circumstances your lawn should be a major consideration when planning and designing your dream garden.

Before making over your garden and lawn landscape we recommend you draw up a plan or sketch that highlights all the different areas.

Gardens can have many areas to consider. Ensure you have thought about all elements such as your lifestyle, sunlight areas, shade areas, soil quality, climate, space available, intended use, pets and children and any garden themes. Being thorough from the planning stages will help you get the best out of your lawn and outdoor areas.

Put your creative cap on and remember lawns can be used to your advantage in many creative ways from small courtyards and roof terraces to conventional lawns.

Clearly mark out all your garden landscape features including lawn areas, garden beds, sheds, decking, paving, driveways and pools. Use measuring tapes, string lines and marking paint to keep the areas as accurate as possible.

 

Your local garden suppliers and gardening magazines are great places to head to for innovative ideas when designing a garden landscape.

Enjoy your new garden landscape and enjoy your new lawn.

    A house just isn't a home without lawn, right from my first enquiry with Sunnyside I can not fault their service. I was going to lay the turf myself but at late notice I engaged them to lay it as well. I am so impressed with my Kikuyu lawn and the way it has been installed, it's perfectly finished our new house. The only thing smiling more than us is our dog!

    I am so happy with my Sir Walter Buffalo, it is green, lush and beautiful and has added so much value to my house. I was more than satisfied with the customer service provided by Sheridan & Andrew. I was very impressed with the follow up phone call I received and felt Sunnyside Instant Lawn not only provided me with great turf but they provided me with a very personal, wonderful service.

    Margie Donnellan | Whyalla, SA

    The quality and condition of the Sir Walter DNA you delivered to Blair Athol was exceptional, best turf I have ever laid. Thank you so much.

    My client came home at lunchtime yesterday to check it out. She was so happy and excited, she couldn’t stop crying. It was the first time in her 45 year life that she had ever had lawn in her own home. Hard to imagine that, life without a lawn.

    Nick Kilvington | Director | Blair Athol

    We couldn’t be more happy with the service and the end result. The Turf Guy, (Jamie) was very accommodating in meeting the needs of our centre and scheduled a time to do the work on a Saturday, ensuring the safety of the children and the families. Lots of families have commented on how amazing the lawn looks…

    We are very happy with our RTF Tall Fescue Lawn supplied and laid by Sunnyside Instant Lawn. The advice from Andrew & Sheridan was very professional and we would certainly recommend them.

    Rob & Trish Martlew | Bordertown

    Delivery was great! The driver called before hand and was very careful with machinery on the driveway. Turf was in amazing condition when it arrived and the size of the slabs made it super easy to install. 

    Shane | Colonel Light Gardens

    Sunnyside Instant Lawn recently supplied and line planted approximately 15,000 square metres of turf at the Bordertown Racing Club. During this project, I found Andrew and his team to be very proficient. All work was carried out on time, offering good advice regarding the proper care required to get the grass up and going, they also followed up the progress of the turf after it was planted.

    Sonya Lodewyk | Bordertown, SA

    I love my new lawns! I was so impressed with the team's obvious knowledge and thorough manner. They advised the most suited turf type for this area's soil and climate. Their prices were very competitive and they had my windswept wasteland looking verdant and established in the space of a day! The team at Sunnyside Instant Lawn were, at all times, helpful, timely and professional.
