Calculate garden square footage, raised bed area, planting area, row count, plant count, soil volume, compost, topsoil, mulch, and estimated garden project cost.
Single bed mode:
The calculator multiplies garden length by width to estimate square footage, perimeter, soil volume, mulch volume, and planting area.
Multiple beds mode:
The calculator multiplies one bed area by the number of same-size beds.
Known area mode:
The calculator starts from your known garden area and estimates soil, compost, mulch, rows, plants, and cost.
Circular garden mode:
The calculator uses diameter to estimate circular garden area, border length, soil volume, and plant count.
A garden area calculator helps estimate garden square footage for vegetable gardens, raised beds, flower beds, herb gardens, square foot gardens, and backyard planting areas.
It can help calculate planting area, soil volume, compost volume, topsoil volume, mulch volume, rows, plant count, edging length, and estimated garden project cost.
Your result shows gross garden area, excluded area, planting area, path or unplanted area, garden perimeter, soil volume, compost volume, topsoil volume, mulch volume, row count, plant count, and estimated cost.
Multiply garden length by garden width. For example, a 12 foot by 4 foot garden bed has 48 square feet.
Multiply garden area by soil depth. Convert the result into cubic feet or cubic yards. One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet.
Start with the net garden area, then subtract the percentage used for paths, walkways, spacing, or unplanted areas.
Use plant spacing or plants per square foot. The calculator estimates both so you can compare row-style planting and square-foot planting.
No. It is an estimate. Actual garden needs vary by bed shape, soil settling, compost mix, mulch depth, plant spacing, paths, slopes, borders, and planting method.
