Measuring Guide
Calculate the amount of bark required
Melcourt Ornamental Spruce bark
| Mulch depth required | 50mm | 75mm | 100mm |
| Square metres covered by 1 cubic metre bag of mulch | 20 | 13.3 | 10 |
Calculate the amount of soil required
Teal Turf Screened and Blended Topsoil
| Soil depth required | 25mm | 50mm | 75mm |
| Square metres covered by 1 bag of topsoil | 28 | 14 | 7 |
For example the area of your garden is 56sq metres and you wish to raise the level by 50mm – you will require 4 bags of topsoil
Calculate the area of your lawn
Measuring the area of a square or rectangular lawn is easy to do. Simply measure the length and the width and multiply the two together. This gives you the area. Or you can use our turf calculator to do the calculation for you.
(For example 9 x 7 = 63)
Triangular gardens are calculated by width x height divided by 2.
To calculate the area of a circle you will need the radius.
To find the radius measure a straight line from the centre of the circle to a point on the circumference.
Calculate the area of your lawn
1 foot = 0.3048 metres
1 square yard = 0.8361 square metres
Wastage Allowance
We recommend that you add 5% to your calculated area to allow for off cuts and angles. We recommend that you do not use small off cut pieces within your lawn as they are more likely to dry out and struggle to establish.
Additional Suggestions
Be sure to measure carefully. Double check your measurements. We suggest you measure in metres as Premium Turf is sold in square metres (I roll equals 1 square metre)
Roll Size
The size of a roll of turf is 1.6m long x 0.61m wide.
