- "Your right, 43560 square feet per acre......5280 feet in a mile, common knowledge, if your in the biz" -- Guest, Lawnsite.com
- "Eric and others are right at 43,560. I asked a farmer at work last year and that was his answer. He ask me the other day how many sq.ft. in an acre, my response was 43,560. He said damn you remembered that. I said sure when it comes to things dealing with my business, I never forget." -- Guest, Lawnsite.com
- "Well I guess its all in how you look at the question. A builders acre is 40,000 square feet, while a (regular) acre is 43,650. I guess you are probably more interested in the latter." -- Guest, Lawnsite.com
- "Now for easy calculating you can use the builder 92s acre, which is 40,000 sq ft or an area 200 x 200 feet." -- Kelly's Landscaping, Lawnsite.com

- 1 square mile 5,280 x 5,280 = 27,878,400 sq ft now divide that by 640 acres per sq mile and thats where the 43,560 sq ft comes from. Now for easy calculating you can use the builders acre, which is 40,000 sq ft or an area 200 x 200 feet.
- Well I guess its all in how you look at the question. A builders acre is 40,000 square feet, while a (regular) acre is 43,650. I guess you are probably more interested in the latter.

- Oops, I had a typo. Was supposed to read 43,650feet, but my numbers about a builders acre are correct.
- to be exact, it would be 208.710325571 feet x 208.710325571 feet, and even that isn't 100 percent, but close enough for government work
- I dont think half of these guys know how big an acre is. There seems to be a lot of res. lawns in the 1.5 to 2 acres getting mowed here. And they can mow 4 acres an hour with a 60 Z.
- How many square feet are there in an acre? I have two numbers stuck in my head an I don't think that either is correct. Thanks guys.
- George, I was trying to figure out how many square feet per minute I can mow(for estimating smaller lawns), I know how many acres per hour I just need to convert to feet and for the life of me could not remember the number. Thanks again. I'll be bidding smart tommorrow Thanks to you guys!
- remember also though that in our terms it is not 43,560sq ft. it would be 43.560M right? cause we dont like thousands of square feet. use the term M that stands for thousand square feet.
