The guided workflow: answer step by step on measurement, use, stone and fall and get the complete surface spec brought together in one flow.
Measurement & planting
Measure up the area, and work out the number of plants for the bed and hedge from the plant spacing and bond.
Soil & base layer
Work out the topsoil and gravel volume: growing layer, base course, settlement, compaction and tonnes to order.
Surfacing & fall
Count tiles and paving stones, and convert fall between per mille, percent and cm/m.
Grass & fertiliser
Dose grass seed and fertiliser by area — guideline doses you can adjust yourself.
