Measure • calculate • order

Know how much material your project needs.

Free, practical calculators for garden and building projects. See the calculation, adjust the assumptions, and turn a measurement into a useful shopping quantity.

From measurement to order

1. Measure the space

Split irregular areas into simple sections. Record the actual layer depth you will add.

2. Check the assumptions

Change density, allowance or product yield when your supplier gives a better value.

3. Round for purchasing

Compare the calculated need with whole bags and the supplier’s delivery increments.

A calculator gives a planning estimate. The final order can differ because of ground levels, moisture, compaction, packaging and site losses. See our formulas and limitations for the details.
