Lawn area calculator
Draw the lawn on a satellite map or enter measurements. Square metres, wastage allowance and pallet count worked out for them.
Turf farm software: area calculators, orders & delivery
Turf farms: measure the lawn, order the turf. Cut fresh, delivered on time.
Customers guess how many square metres they need. Then they ring to ask which grass suits their shady backyard and book delivery for a Saturday you're already full on. Meanwhile the harvest crew is cutting off a whiteboard. We build ordering, harvest and delivery systems for turf farms that all talk to each other, then we host them and look after them.
Looking for turf farm software that handles orders, harvest and delivery?
A turf farm is a race against the clock. Grass gets cut the day before or the morning of delivery. It only lasts a day or two on the pallet in summer and every order is a different size going to a different suburb. Most farms run it with a phone that never stops in spring, a paper diary for delivery days, a whiteboard for the harvest crew and invoices typed into Xero at night.
Wollopit builds custom turf farm software around how your farm actually runs. Customers draw their lawn on a map, get the square metres with a bit extra for cuts and pick a variety that suits their sun and wear. They only see delivery days that actually have room in their area. Orders roll straight into a cut list for the harvester and a run sheet for the truck. Landscapers reorder at trade pricing. We connect the tools you already use and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to growing grass.
01The problems
What we hear from turf farms
Does your turf farm have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most turf farms we talk to grow beautiful grass and run the office off a ringing phone and a diary. That holds together until the first warm weekend of spring.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole turf farm, on one system.
These are the systems turf farms ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Area calculator & ordering
Draw the lawn. Get the metres. Order the turf.
Customers find their house on a satellite map, trace the lawn and see the area in square metres straight away. The calculator adds a sensible allowance for cuts and edges, rounds up to whole pallets and drops it all into the cart with the right variety.
- Draw on a satellite map
- Cut out garden beds and paths
- Manual measurements for odd shapes
- Wastage allowance you set
- Rounds to slabs, rolls and pallets
- Underlay soil and fertiliser worked out
- Price shown as they draw
- Saved measurements for landscapers
- Straight into the cart
Variety guide
The right grass for the right yard.
A guide that asks about sun, shade, foot traffic, dogs, water and budget, then recommends the grass that'll actually thrive. Each variety gets photos, mowing height and care notes so customers buy with confidence and stop ringing to ask.
- Quiz by sun, shade and wear
- Pets, kids and water use
- Close-up photos of each leaf
- Mowing height and care notes
- Price per m² side by side
- Seasonal availability by variety
- Out-of-stock varieties hidden
- Links straight to ordering
Delivery days
Delivery days that know when the truck is full.
Set your delivery zones, which days each area gets a run and how much the truck can carry. Customers only see days with room. Drivers get a run sheet in drop order on their phone with notes and photos.
- Delivery zones drawn on a map
- Fees by zone or distance
- Daily caps by drops or m²
- Full days hidden at checkout
- Farm pickup time slots
- Run sheets in drop order
- On-the-way SMS to customers
- Photo proof of delivery
- Rain day reschedule in one go
Harvest & paddocks
Cut what's sold. Know what's ready.
Every confirmed order lands on tomorrow's cut list by variety and paddock, so the crew cuts what's sold plus a few spares. Paddock records track harvest dates, spraying, fertiliser and irrigation, with regrowth estimates showing what's ready to cut next.
- Cut list from paid orders
- Grouped by variety and paddock
- Spare pallets for walk-ins
- Harvester and crew schedule
- Paddock harvest history
- Regrowth and ready-to-cut estimates
- Spray and fertiliser logs

- Trade pricing per account
- Credit terms and limits
- Order on account
- Standing and repeat orders

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your turf farm: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time in the office, on the harvester and in the truck, then work out where the hours actually go in your busy season.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your varieties, paddocks, pallets, delivery zones, trade accounts, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the calculator and online ordering first, so you get a win before spring.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things turf farms ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can customers draw their lawn on a map?
Yes. They find their address on a satellite view, trace the lawn and cut out garden beds. The calculator works out square metres, adds your wastage allowance and rounds up to pallets.
Can delivery days fill up by area?
Yes. You set the zones, the days you run each area and how many drops or square metres the truck can handle. Once a day is full it disappears from the checkout.
What happens when rain stops harvest?
You pick the affected day and move all its orders in one go. Every customer gets an SMS with a link to choose a new day.
Can landscapers get their own pricing?
Yes. Trade accounts get their own rates, credit terms and order history. They order on account and invoices flow into Xero or MYOB.
Do we have to switch from our accounting or POS?
No. If Xero, MYOB or your counter POS are doing the job we build around them. If something is holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
How much does a turf farm system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
A calculator and online ordering can be live quickly. Bigger systems with harvest and paddock records are planned in stages so you get the first win early, ideally before the spring rush.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most turf farms we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
