Plant spacing calculator
Measure your project. Make a clearer plan.
Estimate groundcover or shrub purchase counts from center-to-center spacing.
Clear math. Better decisions.
A worked example
100 sq ft at 2 ft spacing gives 25 plants on a square grid, or about 29 on a triangular grid.
Before you order
- Estimate groundcover or shrub purchase counts from center-to-center spacing.
- Area-based density does not account for boundary setbacks or exact row positions. Check a drawn layout before ordering.
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.
