Our landscaping calculator helps you estimate the amount of materials you’ll need for your landscaping project.
How to Use the Landscaping Calculator:
To use this calculator, follow these steps:
- Enter the length and width of the area you want to landscape in meters.
- Specify the desired depth of mulch and its cost per cubic meter.
- Specify the desired depth of topsoil and its cost per cubic meter.
- Enter the cost of turf per square meter.
- Click the ‘Calculate’ button to see the total estimated cost.
How it Calculates the Results:
This calculator works by multiplying the length and width to find the area in square meters. It then converts the depth inputs (mulch and topsoil) from centimeters to meters for volume calculation. The total volume of mulch and topsoil required is then multiplied by their respective costs per cubic meter to find the total cost. The turf cost is calculated by multiplying the area with the turf cost per square meter. Finally, all these costs are summed up to give you the total estimated landscaping cost.
Limitations:
The results provided by this calculator are estimates and should be used for general guidance only. Pricing for materials can vary based on location, and additional costs might be incurred for labor, special materials, delivery, etc. Also, ensure you measure your area accurately for more precise calculations.
