Sizing for a 1,500 m² lawn
A 1,500 m² lawn is 16,146 sq ft, about 0.37 acre. For this lawn that means 1,800 m² (19,375 sq ft) on one open shape, 2,025 m² (21,797 sq ft) with some beds and trees, and 2,250 m² (24,219 sq ft) for a complex layout. A mower allowed to run in daytime only needs 1.5 times as much again: 3,038 m² (32,695 sq ft) for a typical shape.
A model whose limit is 1,500 m² covers this lawn with nothing to spare, and limits of 1,800 and 2,000 m² cover it with less than the margin for a typical shape. A model fits from a limit of 2,025 m². Compare the prices of the tight models with the closest fit before you decide.
Lawns of this size often include a slope. A model passes the sizer's slope check when its published limit is 5 percentage points above your steepest stretch. Measure that stretch with the method in the slope guide before you rely on the default gentle slope.
Questions about 1,500 m² lawns
What rating does a 1,500 m² lawn need?
2,025 m² (21,797 sq ft) for a typical shape mowed at any time, and 1,800 m² (19,375 sq ft) for one open shape.
Is a 2,000 m² model enough?
On an open lawn, yes: it needs 1,800 m² (19,375 sq ft). With beds and trees it needs 2,025 m² (21,797 sq ft), so a 2,000 m² model is tight.
