Convert several placed sand layers into loose volume, supplied mass and whole bags.
Open calculatorLandscapingSoil and Topsoil Calculator
Fill rectangular beds or round containers, pool their volume and calculate soil bags.
Open calculatorLandscapingMulch Calculator
Estimate mulch bags and bulk cubic yards for multiple beds, subtract existing depth, and compare your bag and delivered bulk prices.
Open calculatorLandscapingTrapezoidal Trench Volume Calculator
Measure an excavation with different top and bottom widths and supplied end sections.
Open calculatorLandscapingGrid Elevation Volume Calculator
Sum fill and cut volumes from separate measured grid cells and their signed average height differences.
Open calculatorLandscapingLoose and Placed Material Calculator
Convert a required placed volume to loose delivery volume using a supplier-provided volume factor.
Open calculatorLandscapingSoil Component Blend Calculator
Split a requested blend volume into explicitly supplied component proportions and bags.
Open calculatorLandscapingLandscape Edging Piece Calculator
Count straight edging pieces, supplied corner units and joiners around measured runs.
Open calculatorLandscapingPaver Pattern Module Calculator
Order different paver sizes together using a manufacturer-specified repeating module.
Open calculatorLandscapingSod Strip Roll Calculator
Count turf rolls cut into specified parallel strips, preserving per-strip rounding and reusable offcuts.
Open calculatorLandscapingRaised Bed Layer Fill Calculator
Calculate separate fill layers inside a bed while subtracting existing fill and known solid inserts.
Open calculatorLandscapingStation and Offset Strip Area Calculator
Estimate a measured strip area from irregularly spaced stations and left and right offsets.
Open calculatorLandscapingSpecified Dripline Cut Layout Calculator

Open calculatorLandscapingRainwater Event Volume Budget Calculator
Separate rainfall volume, supplied capture losses and available tank space.
Open calculatorLandscapingTapered Pot Fill around Root Balls Calculator
Subtract supplied root-ball displacement from the selected tapered pot fill volume, then order mix bags.
Open calculatorLandscapingSeparate Seed Product Bag Order Calculator
Order separate seed products using their supplied label rate and pack mass; no seed type or application rate is recommended.
Open calculatorLandscapingMeasured Tree Ring Mulch Top Up Bag Calculator
Top up measured annular areas from existing to supplied target depth, excluding the central circle. Does not recommend depth or trunk clearance.
Open calculatorLandscapingPlant Count from Supplied Grid and Margins Calculator
Count planting positions on a supplied rectangular grid after measured edge margins. Does not select plant spacing or species.

How to measure and order: planting quantities and top-ups
Which measurements and product data prevent quantity mistakes for this job?
Read guideguideEmpty pot capacity versus fill around a root ball: quantity checks
Container capacity is larger than the amount of new mix needed when an existing root ball occupies part of the vessel.
Read guideguideKeep first-emitter offset in a specified dripline takeoff
Does a run’s start coincide with an emitter position?
Read guidecomparisonRainfall event volume does not size a gutter or overflow
Does knowing captured water volume establish hydraulic capacity?
Read guideguideUse inside planter dimensions for fill and outside dimensions for board cuts
Can the same outside dimensions be used unchanged for both material quantities?
Read guidecomparisonCompare bulk fill quotes on the same loose or placed volume basis
Is a lower price per cubic unit actually pricing the same quantity state?
Read guideguideDo not mix component mass ratios with soil volume ratios
Does an equal mass blend also provide equal component volumes?
Read guideguideCheck offcut width and direction before counting sod reuse
Is an equal offcut area enough to replace a required full strip?
Read guidecomparisonWeight each measured station interval separately
Why does averaging all offset widths give the wrong strip area?
Read guideguideKeep loose delivery and placed fill volumes separate
Which volume should you use when the supplier quotes loose material?
Read guideguideCalculate mulch top-up from the existing layer
Why should existing mulch be measured before ordering a new layer?
Read guideguideKeep cut and fill separate in an elevation grid
Why should signed elevation differences not cancel before estimating volumes?
Read guideguideConvert supplied blend parts to component volumes
How do volume parts become separate component purchases?
