How do I find my square footage?

Draw your site as accurately as possible using graph paper if available. For oddly-shaped beds, divide the area into combinations of rectangles, triangles, and/or circles. Use the following formulas to determine area:

  • Rectangle: Area = length x width
  • Circle: Area = 3.1416 x the square of the radius
  • Triangle: Area = 1/2 x length of base x length of height
