If you\u2019re planning to install <\/span>synthetic grass<\/span><\/a> for your <\/span>Reno<\/span><\/a> outdoor project, the first step is to determine how much synthetic grass you\u2019ll need. Wholesale <\/span>artificial turf<\/span><\/a> is typically sold in rolls of varying sizes, and the amount of turf you require will depend on the size and shape of your lawn. To help you get started, here\u2019s a simple guide to measuring and calculating the amount of artificial grass you\u2019ll need for your project \u2014 and how to approximate its cost.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Importance of Measuring for Artificial Turf<\/b><\/h2>\n

Measuring how much artificial grass your project will require can be beneficial whether you\u2019re hiring a professional installer or doing it yourself. By calculating the area of your yard, you can determine how many square feet of wholesale turf you\u2019ll need to buy to adequately complete the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Turf rolls come in a wide variety of sizes, so it\u2019s important to know how many rolls to purchase. Most Synthetic Grass Warehouse artificial turf products are 15 feet wide by 100 feet long, so you\u2019ll need one roll of artificial grass for every 1,500 square feet of yard you want to cover. If your lawn does not meet these measurements exactly (and virtually none will), you\u2019ll need to round up when purchasing and then carefully cut your turf to the measurements of your lawn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Calculating how much turf grass you need will also help you calculate how much your project will cost. By determining the square footage, you can estimate the cost of the turf material and, in turn, the cost of the overall project. If you\u2019re hiring professional installers, you\u2019ll also need to account for the cost of their installation tools and labor, but it will give you a starting point for your budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

Measure Your Synthetic Turf\u2019s Longest & Widest Points<\/b><\/h2>\n

Whether your lawn is square, rectangular, rounded or angled, you\u2019ll need to measure your lawn as if it’s square or rectangular. This will help you ensure you have enough turf to complete the project without buying more rolls than you need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Find the widest and longest parts of your lawn using a straight line. If your lawn is curved or unusually shaped, extend the measurements so the area fits in a square or rectangle. If you have an L-shaped lawn, divide the area into two rectangular sections, and you\u2019ll later add them together. Once you\u2019ve pinpointed the longest and widest areas of each section, measure them in feet. Make sure to measure carefully and more than once to avoid any errors in your calculations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Calculate the Area of Your Artificial Grass<\/b><\/h2>\n

Once you have your measurements, you\u2019ll need to calculate the area of your turf installation in square feet. For square and rectangular lawns, this means simply multiplying the width by the length. If you have an L-shaped lawn, you\u2019ll need to add together the two sections after calculating the area of each one.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if your lawn is 30 feet wide and 15 feet long, you\u2019ll multiply 30 by 15 to get 450. This means you\u2019ll need 450 square feet of turf. Since SGW turf rolls are typically 1,500 square feet, you\u2019ll need no more than one turf roll to complete your project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Approximate the Cost of Installing Synthetic Grass in Reno<\/b><\/h2>\n

Once you have your lawn\u2019s measurements and know how many square feet of turf you\u2019ll need, you can estimate the cost of installing your turf grass. Turf is often priced per square foot, so to calculate the cost, multiply the cost per square foot of turf by the total square footage of your lawn.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if your artificial grass product of choice is $3 per square foot and you need 450 square feet of turf, the approximate cost will be $1,350. However, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that this figure often won\u2019t fully cover the cost of infill, installation tools, and labor if you\u2019re choosing to use professional synthetic grass installers.<\/span><\/p>\n
