Transform your landscaping dreams into reality with the Landscaping Area Calculator. This tool helps you estimate the area of various outdoor spaces—be it gardens, patios, or walkways—quickly and accurately. By selecting shapes like rectangles, circles, or triangles and inputting your dimensions, you can effortlessly determine the exact size needed for your project.

How to Calculate Landscaping Area

The area of your landscaping project depends on its shape. Here’s how to calculate for each shape:

  1. Rectangle:
    • Formula: \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width}
    • Example: A patio measuring 10 ft by 15 ft has an area of 10 \times 15 = 150 \, \text{sq ft}.
  2. Circle:
    • Formula: \text{Area} = \pi \times \left(\frac{\text{Diameter}}{2}\right)^2
    • Example: A circular garden with a diameter of 10 ft has an area of 3.14 \times 5^2 = 78.5 \, \text{sq ft}.
  3. Triangle:
    • Formula: \text{Area} = \frac{\text{Base} \times \text{Height}}{2}
    • Example: A triangular lawn with a base of 12 ft and height of 8 ft has an area of \frac{12 \times 8}{2} = 48 \, \text{sq ft}.
