A landscape cost calculator can assist a property owner in determining the number of yards of materials needed to complete a particular landscaping project. By entering information related to length, width, and depth of materials needed, the user can eliminate the over-purchasing of items that include top soil, mulch and fertilizer. There are other calculators available such as lawn fertilizer
. calculators that help to calculate how much fertilizer the owner should use with a particular type of grass as well as calculators that ask basic questions to recommend whether a lawn should start from sod or from seed.The square footage of a piece of property is the most important factor when it comes to figuring out how much the landscaping will cost. Prices of materials can vary substantially from one location to the next. Therefore, the property owner should check out local prices in order to get a rough idea of how much a specific type of project might cost.At http://www.globalrph.com/start/landscape.htm, a calculator helps users work out the price of mulch or other materials that are needed to fill a certain amount of space. First the user enters the length and width of the space, then the depth of the required material in inches. The calculator figures out how many cubic yards of materials are needed. If the user knows the price per cubic yard, that amount is entered to come up with an estimated total cost for the project.The landscape calculator at http://www.landscaping.bz/material-calculator.htm can be used to figure out the area of a space that is unusual in shape, such as circular, triangular or oval. This page explains how to calculate the diameter of a circle, the height of a triangle and the width and length of an oval. The calculator then reports the total square feet contained inside each shape.
