Here's the simple way to measure the area that you want worked on:
Start by dividing the area to be worked into squares, rectangles, and triangles, (as in the diagram above)
Area A is a square, with 12-foot sides. Area B is a rectangle, with 18x20-foot dimensions. Area C is a triangle, with 12- and 18-foot sides forming a right angle. (Remember: a right angle is 90 degrees!)
Figure the area of each shape.
Area A is 144 square feet, (12 times 12). Area B is 360 square feet, (18 times 20). Area C is 108 square feet, (18 times 12, divided by 2).
Add the square footage of all areas to get 612 square feet, (144 + 360 + 108)
HINT: Add 5 to 10 percent, to account for the odd shaped areas that fall outside of the perfect squares, rectangles, and triangles.
In the example above, you would add about 60 square feet! 672 (612 + 60).
Please Enter the Square Foot of Area

He knew what he was talking about, spent a lot of time with me (even though my job was too small for his company). He made sure I got the right products and sod for my job and made nothing on it. He's a great guy and when I have a larger job I will absolutely call him.
I had to call him again, the following week to order more sod. Again, without profit for him, he helped me get the sod that I needed. Thank you, a good and knowledgeable person, he made my day.read less

I think it works by trapping moisture at night and releasing it during the day via evaporation to keep it cool. Does it get hot? Well, yes, but only in very peak times when it's 100 degrees out and the sun has been beating down on it for a couple hours straight. And even then it's no worse than walking barefoot on hot sand or concrete (I know this because I've hopped back and forth from my concrete to turf during one really peak time, and they were equally hot.) If I water the turf, the Hydrochill does its magic and all is fine. But I've only had one day in the last 2 months (June and July in Culver City) that watering it was necessary.read less
