Formula:
The Grass Seed Calculator determines the amount of seed required by first calculating your lawn's total area, then applying a specific seeding rate per unit area. This rate varies based on your chosen grass type and whether you are planting a new lawn or overseeding.
Formula Steps:
- 1. Calculate Area:
Area = Length × Width(in sq ft or sq m) - 2. Determine Seeding Rate: Based on Grass Type (e.g., Fescue, Ryegrass) and Seeding Type (New Lawn or Overseeding). Rates are typically given per 1000 sq ft or 100 sq m.
- 3. Calculate Seed Needed:
Seed Needed = (Total Area / Base Unit Area) × Seeding Rate
Where:
- Length & Width: Your lawn's dimensions.
- Total Area: The calculated surface area of your lawn.
- Base Unit Area: The unit of area for which the seeding rate is provided (e.g., 1000 sq ft).
- Seeding Rate: The recommended amount of seed (e.g., lbs or kg) per Base Unit Area.
