Pricing by lawn area loses money
Charging for 240 sq ft when you cut 300 sq ft from the roll leaves the offcut unpaid.
SHOPERIZE PRICE CALCULATOR
Shopify artificial turf calculator
Lawn size in. The right cut out.
Turf and carpet come off fixed-width rolls, so a 12 × 20 ft lawn doesn’t use 240 sq ft of material. Shoperize Price Calculator works out the cut in both directions, recommends the one with less billable material, and lets the shopper choose either valid plan.

THE MATH
A 12 × 20 ft lawn from a 15 ft wide roll
The shopper pays for the material cut from the roll, not the lawn area. The selected variant supplies the per-area price, so different pile heights can be priced differently.
| Step | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Roll across the 12 ft side | 1 strip × 15 ft × 20 ft | 300 sq ft |
| Roll across the 20 ft side | 2 strips × 15 ft × 12 ft | 360 sq ft |
| Recommended plan | less material | 300 sq ft |
| Lawn area | 12 × 20 | 240 sq ft |

Shoppers don’t know the roll direction
Most shoppers can’t tell which way the roll should run, and the wrong direction can cost them 20% more material.
Cut lengths need rules
Without a minimum and an increment, shoppers order cuts you can’t make or ship.

ARTIFICIAL TURF CALCULATOR FAQGood questions.
Good questions.
Straight answers.
How much artificial turf does a lawn need?
It depends on the roll width. Count the strips needed across one side, multiply by the roll width and the cut length, and compare both directions. A 12 × 20 ft lawn from a 15 ft roll needs 300 sq ft when the roll runs along the 20 ft side.
Why not just charge for the lawn area?
The material cut from the roll is what leaves your warehouse. Pricing by lawn area undercharges for the offcut.
Does this work for carpet and vinyl rolls?
Yes. The same fixed-width roll logic fits broadloom carpet, sheet vinyl and other goods cut from a roll of set width.
Can the shopper choose the other direction?
Yes. The calculator recommends the plan with less billable material and lets the shopper choose either valid plan.
