How to Calculate the Lawn Slope
|
There are two common ways to measure the slope of a surface: degrees and percentage. The simplest way is to measure the slope in percentage using the formula given in Figure 1, where: After calculating the slope in percentage, use the table below to convert it into degrees |

| Slope (%) | Slope (degrees) | Slope (%) | Slope (degrees) | Slope (%) | Slope (degrees) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.8 | 1° | 14 | 8° | 26.8 | 15° | ||
| 3.5 | 2° | 15.8 | 9° | 28.7 | 16° | ||
| 5.2 | 3° | 17.6 | 10° | 30.6 | 17° | ||
| 7.0 | 4° | 19.4 | 11° | 32.5 | 18° | ||
| 8.8 | 5° | 21.2 | 12° | 34.4 | 19° | ||
| 10.5 | 6° | 23.1 | 13° | 36.4 | 20° | ||
| 12.3 | 7° | 24.0 | 14° | 38.4 | 21° |
