How square footage is calculated
For one simple section, multiply length by width. For front, back, and side-yard areas, add each section together.
One section = length × width
Multiple sections = section 1 + section 2 + section 3

Lawn square footage FAQ
How do I calculate square footage for a simple lawn?
Multiply length by width. If the yard breaks into a few simple sections, calculate each one and add them together.
Can I add front, back, and side sections together?
Yes. This calculator lets you total up to three lawn sections on the same page.
When should I switch from the calculator to the map?
Use the satellite map when the lawn curves, angles around obstacles, or does not fit a quick length × width estimate.
What does the map measure that the calculator does not?
The map lets you trace the actual outline, including curves, corners, and areas around beds, driveways, or patios.
Is this enough for quotes or material orders?
The calculator is a good starting point for simple lawns. For complex layouts or expensive orders, verify the area on the satellite map first.
