Measure lawn with a measuring tape

The way to measure your lawn is by measuring the length by the width, you can use a measuring tape or take a large step and count it as 1 meter, so if the lawn is 5 meters long by 2 meters wide, you multiply these 2 figures to give you the to area, 5m x 2m = 10m2. If you have a more complicated lawn break it down into smaller sections like in the image.

Take a Guess

4,000m2 = 1 acre, so if you have an idea of the acreage your property, you can deduct the percentage of area that includes your house and driveway etc. (average acre site has 2000m2 – 3000m2 lawn)

2,000m2 = 1/2 an acre, deduct the percentage of area that includes your house and driveway etc. (average half acre site has 800m2 – 1400m2 lawn)

For smaller lawns you may want to compare it to a tennis court of 250m2, if your lawn is approximately the size of 2 tennis courts you have around 500m2 etc.
