About this calculator

Clover seed is sown by weight per unit area, but the right rate differs by type: micro clover, bred to stay short and blend into an existing lawn, is typically overseeded at a much lower rate than white clover grown as a standalone low-maintenance, nitrogen-fixing groundcover. This calculator multiplies your lawn's area by the chosen seeding rate to estimate the pounds of seed needed to cover it.

Clover lawns have grown popular with homeowners seeking a drought-tolerant, pollinator-friendly, low-mow alternative to a pure grass lawn, since clover fixes its own nitrogen from the air and needs less fertilizer and irrigation — getting the seeding rate right avoids both patchy, thin coverage from under-seeding and wasted seed from over-seeding.
