How it works
- 1
Measure each area
Draw it on the satellite map, walk around it, or type its dimensions.
- 2
Choose the material
Mulch, gravel, pavers or a wall: the depth and size give the quantities.
- 3
Send the order
Bags, tons or truckloads at your prices, by supplier, in a PDF.
Landscaping Calc is an Android app that works out the materials of a landscaping job. A job is rarely one material: there is mulch in the beds, gravel on the path, pavers on the patio, a retaining wall, edging. The app keeps them in one project, one zone per area, and adds up the same material across zones.
Each zone gets its size from the satellite map, from a GPS walk around it, or from the dimensions you type. Choose the depth, and the volume becomes cubic yards, tons, bags, big bags or truckloads, with the pack sizes and densities of your supplier.
- Loose materials — mulch, gravel, topsoil, compost, river rock, decomposed granite, sand, crushed stone base. Mulch calculator
- Hardscape — pavers with their sand and base, retaining wall blocks, edging, concrete slabs. Paver calculator
- The order — lines grouped by supplier, your prices, a PDF to send. Material order
- The quote — materials, labor, delivery and tax for your customer. Landscaping quote

Guides
How much mulch
Square footage, depth, and the size of the bag. Here is the calculation, with an example.
How much gravel
Gravel is measured in cubic yards and often sold by the ton. Here is how to go from one to the other.
Bags in a cubic yard
One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. Divide by the size of the bag.
How many pavers
Count the pavers from their size and joint, then the sand and the base under them.
Retaining wall blocks
Courses for the height, blocks for the length, then what goes behind and under the wall.
