Helipads - round or square?

I was mindlessly driving along the other day thinking about this....

Are the majority or landing pads round or square?

Is there a reason why they are seemingly often round? Is that a design element to do with rotor-wash?

eg. Hospital landing pads, ships, oil rigs etc. I'm referring to raised pads, versus ground level.
