Lawn & turf

The same lawn area can drive several different calculations, but the product rate or material depth changes the job.

Keep the project decisions separate from the arithmetic

Starting a new lawn

Measure the actual lawn footprint first. Topsoil is a depth-and-volume job; turf is a roll-coverage job; seed is an application-rate job. Keeping those inputs separate lets you reuse the same area without pretending the products work the same way.

Improving an existing lawn

Overseeding uses a seed rate, topdressing uses a shallow depth in millimetres, and lawn feed uses the rate printed on the chosen product. The calculator should not decide those horticultural inputs for you.

When topsoil is the wrong calculator

A few millimetres over existing grass belongs in Lawn Topdressing. A deeper layer to prepare levels or a rootzone belongs in Topsoil. That distinction avoids ordering ten times too much material.
