Estimating Your Lawn Area
Second Nature Lawn Care invites you to "take a stab" at estimating your lawn's square footage. Below you will find the various formulas for making your estimates as accurate as possible.

Here's the bottom line. Once you have calculated your square footage, type the final figure into the estimate page and we will send you an e-mail with our dollar estimate based on your calculations. Once we have arranged a time for the first application and are on site, we will measure your square footage. IF your calculation is within 10% of our figure, we will honor the estimate that we provided you through e-mail. If your calculation is outside of the 10% cutoff line we will give you your options (explain the adjusted application price).

CIRCULAR AREA
A = 3.14 x R2

Example: A Circle's radius (r) -half the distance across the middle of the circle - is 10 feet.  Multiply the known 3.14 by the radius squared, so:
A = 3.14 x 102
A = 3.14 x 100
A = 314 square feet

Use the circle for a part of your lawn that is not rectangular.

SQUARE/RECTANGLE AREA
A = Base x Height

Example: 'B'ase is 10 feet, and the 'H'eight is 10 feet, thus:
   A = 10' x 10'
   A = 100 square feet

TRIANGULAR AREA
 A = (Base x Height)
2
Example: 'B'ase is 10 feet, and the 'H'eight (base to point) is 20 feet, thus:

  • A = 10' x 20'    A = 200
              2                  2

  • A = 100 square feet

COMBINATION FREE-FORM & BREAKDOWN TO FORMS
Break the free-form area to obvious forms and calculate each form's area.  Once each form is calculated, add the areas together to derive a total area.

  • 1 - 3.14 x R2

  • 2 - b' x h'      

  • 3 - b' x h'      
So, here is what you need to do: 1. draw a map of the area that will get the application.
2. take lots of measurements. 3. decide which shapes fit our lawn best.

Use these simple shapes to cover your map. Add them all together to get the area of your lawn. If you have an area to be left without grass (or application) out in the middle of the lawn (a pool or deck) find its area the same way and subtract it from you total.

Circle + Rectangle + Triangle - Pool = LAWN
