Calculate the amount of seed, fertilizer, and soil needed for establishing or repairing a lawn.
The Lawn Calculator tells you how much seed, fertilizer, and soil you need for establishing or repairing a lawn. The calculator uses standard doses and your area.
The calculator is free, works in your browser without registration, and shows the result as soon as you change the values. The calculations are done on your device, and the information you enter is not sent anywhere.
Seed amount = area × dose (new lawn 30 g/m², overseeding 15 g/m², patching 20 g/m²). Starter fertilizer about 30 g/m². Soil amount = area × layer thickness.
200 m² of new lawn requires about 6 kg of seed, 6 kg of fertilizer, and 10 m³ of soil with a 5 cm layer. With default settings, the calculator gives the result: 6.0 kg of seed is needed.
Homeowners and cottage dwellers who are establishing a new lawn or repairing an old one and want to buy the right amount of supplies.
Sowing is best done in May–June or early August–September when the soil is warm and moist.
A new lawn is recommended to have about 1.97–3.94 in of growing medium. The quality of the soil affects the required amount.
Starter fertilizer helps with seedling establishment. Use a fertilizer suitable for lawns according to the package instructions.
