I am trying to figure out how much Its going to cost me to hydro seed my front lawn. They charge by square foot and I want to be as accurate as possible. Instructions on how I would calculate this would be great!!! Thank you.

Measure the width X the length. Example: if your yard is 100' wide and 45 ' deep. = 4,500 S/F. If the yard is not square, just break it down into sections and measure each seperately then add together.

Multiply the length by the width. The total is the square footage. Example: 50 foot long by 30 foot wide would be 1500 square feet.

You need to measure the length and width of your yard in feet and then multiply the two figures together. So if your yard is 30 feet long and 15 feet wide, the square footage is:
30 x 15 = 450 square feet

There are two basic ways of calculating square footage. One is quite obvious, if you have a rectangular room with one wall being 10 feet and the other being 20 feet you have 200 square feet. The other would be to calculate the square inches and convert into feet such as: a rectangular room one wall being 142 inches by 172 inches, you would multiply 142 X 172 (giving you 24,424 square inches) then you divide this by 144 (number of square inches in a square foot) and this will give you the square footage (in this case it would be 169.61 square feet)

Measure the size of your yard (length and width) and then multiply it together.
A yard that is 50 feet wide and 20 feet deep is 1,000 square feet (50 x 20 = 1,000)
If your yard isn't roughly square, it can get a little trickier.

Length X Width will give you square footage.
Ex: 8' x 12' = 96' square feet

If you have odd shaped areas, areas neither square nor rectangular there are other formulas. This site calculates the area for you if you plug in the measurements.

This site shows how to break an odd area up into basic shapes. Once you divide the shape into pieces you can find the areas of the individual pieces.

Length X width X however thick that you want the protection. The thicker the insulation---the better the protection from cold or heat penetration.

You can go to www.1800TOPSOIL.com and click on topsoil calculator. That should help you with what I think you're trying to figure out.
