Artificial Grass Calculator UK

Measure the lawn area in metres, pick a pile type, and the calculator works out exactly how many square metres of artificial grass to order — with the cutting waste already added — and what each grade costs.

Artificial grass is sold by the square metre, cut from 2m or 4m wide rolls. Choosing the right width for your plot means fewer joins and less waste — a 4m roll across a 3.8m lawn leaves almost nothing on the cutting-room floor.

How much does your garden need?

Pick a material, pace out your plot, and the value engine prices every way to fill it — hippo bags, dumpy bags or handy sacks.

Budget 20mm suits balconies and play corners; Family 30mm is the all-round garden favourite; Premium 40mm gives the lushest real-lawn look. All cut to size in 2m or 4m widths.

Worked example: a 4 × 6m family lawn

A 24m² back lawn in the Family 30mm grade needs 26.4m² once the 10% cutting allowance is added, rounded up to 27m² of cut grass — that's about £431 at £15.95/m². The same area in Budget 20mm comes to roughly £242, and in Premium 40mm about £647. Add a roll of joining tape if the plot is wider than one 4m roll.

Common questions

Mainly pile height and density. Budget 20mm short pile is neat and hard-wearing — good for balconies, play corners and putting-green looks. Family 30mm is the all-round favourite: soft underfoot, child and pet friendly. Premium 40mm deep pile with multi-tone blades looks closest to a real lawn. The calculator's type selector prices all three for your exact area.
