Lawn Size Calculator

Measure the grass—not the lot.

Add the areas that need mowing, then subtract the house, pool, paths and beds. A close estimate is enough to choose the right mower class.

Add your mowable areas

Enter approximate square feet. Leave any area you do not have blank.

Subtract non-mowable space

Use this only if the areas above included these surfaces.

Yard Match

Tell us about your lawn.

We weigh the conditions that affect real-world navigation—plus what matters most to you—then build a starting shortlist.

How large is the mowable lawn?

An estimate is fine—exclude the house, driveway and large beds.

What is the sky view like?

Dense trees and walls can weaken satellite positioning.

How challenging are the slopes?

Use the steepest section the mower must cross.

How complex is the layout?

Think narrow passages, separated zones and obstacles.

What matters most to you?

This helps us break a tie between otherwise suitable mowers.

Why it may fit: unusual 4-in-1 design can mow, mulch, collect clippings and sweep leaves across lawns up to about 0.37 acre. Keep in mind: RTK still favors open sky, each charge with the bag covers a published 200 m², and long-term U.S. service remains an important question. Read the full review →
