How it works
Measure your lawn area in feet. Add irregular sections with the + Add area button.
The calculator divides total sq ft by 2.667 sq ft per piece, then groups into 169-piece pallets.
Always add 5–10% for cuts and waste — the calculator shows the base number; order one extra pallet for larger yards.
