Area and Volume Calculators

Whether you’re planning a new flower bed or laying a winding path through your garden, getting the measurements right is key. Our easy to use area and volume calculators take the guesswork out of the equation, helping you work out exactly how much material you’ll need. No more rough estimates – just quick, accurate results to get your project off to a flying start.

Topsoil Volume Calculator

Enter the Width, Length and Depth of the area you're covering, then click 'Calculate Volume'. The depth of Topsoil you require will depend on the type of soil you have and the planting you're doing – for most gardens a Topsoil depth of between 152–711 mm (6–18 in) is recommended.
This calculator is only intended as a rough guide to help you approximate the likely amount you'll need for your projects. Weights and sizes are all subject to variation. We recommend that all measurements and calculations are checked by a contractor on site before placing your order. If you would like to talk to someone about your requirements please call our team and we'll be more than happy to help.

Woodchip, Bark & Mulch Volume Calculator

The key to effective mulching is finding the right balance – not too thick, but not too thin either. A properly applied layer will enrich the soil, but if it’s spread too thinly, it might not provide the full benefits, like weed control or protection from heat and erosion. Generally a 25 mm–102 mm (2–4 in) depth is recommended.

Gravel Volume Calculator

Enter the Width, Length and Depth of the area you're covering, then click 'Calculate Volume'. Depending on your project, we recommend a depth of 50mm (2") coverage with all gravel, decorative aggregates, chippings, slates and pebbles.

Cannot rate highly enough. Such amazing friendly service, fantastic prices and incredible delivery managing to fit a lorry up the tiny lane behind our house to the back of the garden which saved me a days worth of labour and trips to and from the front of the house. Will use again!!

I can't rate these guys highly enough! I've used them twice now, prices were absolutely spot on, delivery was brilliant. Big thanks to jake, he was very knowledgeable, and managed to get my aggregate delivered within a couple of hours! Unbelievable. And a special mention to the driver who put our bins back! Thank you!
