Topsoil Calculator

You’re in need of soil for your garden project but you’re unsure how much you need. We sell all of our soil in bulk bags (AKA Jumbo or Dumpy bags), so no matter how big your garden is - we have you covered!

Knowing how to measure the area of your garden can seem like a bit of a pain but we’ve made it easy with the below infographic.

The first stage is literally mapping out your garden, deciding on the best way to measure it (for example split it into manageable shapes) and use our easy conversion formula to get to the magic square metre figure. We have examples of different garden shapes so if you have a triangular, circular or any other random shape we can help.

The second stage is measuring your garden, preferably in square metres. This makes things easy as most suppliers work in square metres. The last stage is then to contact your chosen supplier and receive a quote for the amount you need.
