Since most yards are large and oddly shaped it is often simpler to estimate a large area by breaking it into several smaller areas. Smaller areas are also easier to measure. Look for small sections that can be approximated as a square and rectangular, triangle, or circular area. Keep in mind that you are trying to estimate the size of the area in question. Measurements to the nearest foot or so should be a good start. Once you have the dimensions, enter the information one area at a time. As each area is entered press the “Add this Area” button and the information will be added to the Result box to the right and the total area will be accumulated in the Total Yard Area box.
