BEHIND THE NUMBERS

Clear math. Better decisions.

Available center span = line length − 2 × end setback. Count = floor(span ÷ spacing) + 1 when span is nonnegative.

A worked example

A 40 ft line with 2 ft end setbacks and 4 ft spacing fits 10 plants.

Before you order

  • Count shrubs along a straight hedge with explicit end setbacks.
  • Choose spacing for the exact species, cultivar, and desired hedge form.

Good questions.

Where do the prices come from?

You enter actual supplier prices. A blank price is unknown; enter zero only when that item is free or deliberately excluded. Taxes and installation are excluded unless a field explicitly includes them.

Can I use metric measurements?

Yes. The unit selector converts dimensions and unit prices. Results use whole packages where applicable. Starting dimensions are examples; confirm product specifications before ordering.
