All GVI sod is sold by the square foot. It’s always a good plan to add an extra 5% to the total for wastage. Better to have more than not enough to finish the job.
For more complex square footage, it’s best to draw the area and break it down into sections for measurement. Then total the areas measured to determine how many square feet of sod is needed.

 

Area of Square or Rectangle Length x Width   Example:  "B"ase is 10 feet and the "H"eight is 10 feet 10’ x 10' = 100 square feet

---

 

Area of a Triangle (Base x Height) Divided by 2 Example: “B”ase is 10 feet and the “H”eight (base to point) is 20 feet then divided by 2. = 10 b x 20 h divided by 2 = 100 square feet

Area of a Circle 3.14 x Radius Squared (x2) Example: Circles’ radius ( r ) is 10 feet. Multiply the known 3.14 by the radius squared. = 3.14 x 10 X 10 = 3.14 x 100 =314 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'
