Know your square footage.
Rectangles, circles, triangles — or walk the actual perimeter of an odd-shaped bed and get a real number.
The shapes that cover most yards.
Straight math, no rounding tricks — exact area and perimeter every time.
For everything else.
Enter side lengths and corner angles as you walk the bed, and watch the shape draw itself.
Measure once, reuse everywhere.
Send your area straight into the material calculator, or your perimeter into stake spacing.
Stop guessing bags.
Turn square footage and depth into cubic yards, bags, and a ballpark cost — bulk vs. bagged, side by side.
Defaults are ballpark U.S. big-box prices — edit them to match your supplier.
| Option | Amount | Est. cost |
|---|---|---|
| Bagged | — | — |
| Bulk delivery | — | — |
Mulch, soil, gravel, sand, compost.
Each with its own typical bag size — all editable.
See both, pick the cheaper one.
Bagged is convenient for small jobs; bulk usually wins past a couple of yards.
Depth chips for common jobs.
Top-ups, fresh beds, and gravel bases each want a different depth — pick a preset or set your own.
Light it without the dim end.
Work out how many fixtures you need, then run the voltage-drop math so the farthest light isn't the dim one.
Spacing presets built in.
Path lights, border wash, or wide accent spacing — pick a preset or dial in your own.
The check most free tools skip.
Wattage, distance, and wire gauge — the same math pro installers use before they trench a run.
A straight answer, not just a number.
Know immediately if you should upsize the wire or split the circuit.
Every stake, evenly spaced.
No awkward leftover gap at the end — get the exact interval and the total count.
Fence-lines and full loops.
Straight runs need an end stake on both sides; loops don't — the math adjusts either way.
No fractional leftover.
Get the exact interval that divides evenly, right alongside what you asked for.
Perimeter carries over.
Measured your bed already? Pull the perimeter straight in.
