What this page needs from you

This page asks for lawn area in m², rate in $/m², cuts per month and season length in months. From those it returns cost per cut in $, together with monthly cost, season cost, annual cost and time at 300 m²/h. Every figure updates as you type, and nothing you enter leaves your browser.

Running short costs more than over-ordering

A second delivery carries its own charge, materials from a different batch may not match, and a job halted halfway often has to be redone at the join. Ordering slightly long is cheap insurance against all three.

Measure twice, and allow for waste

A 5% error on one dimension becomes 10% on an area and 15% on a volume, which is why checking the tape matters more than the arithmetic. On top of the measured quantity, allow the trade standard of 10% for cuts and breakage, and 15 to 20% for diagonal layouts, complex shapes or anything cut around obstacles.

The formula

Cost per cut = area × rate; season cost = cost × cuts per month × months

Every result on this page comes from this formula. Nothing is rounded until the final display, so figures match a spreadsheet to the cent.
