Enter your Total Edging Length Needed, Length of Each Edging Product, Price per Edging Unit, and a Waste Factor into the Landscape Edging Calculator to get your Total Project Cost, plus exactly how many Edging Units to buy and your Total Length with Waste so you don't end up short on install day.

Use a measuring tape to follow the exact path where you plan to install the edging. For curved areas, use a flexible measuring tape or string to trace the curve, then measure the string. Add all segments together for the total linear footage.
Use 5% for simple straight runs, 10% for standard projects with some cuts, 15% for complex layouts with multiple angles, and 20% for curved or irregular designs that require more cutting and fitting.
Yes, this calculator works for any linear edging material including plastic, metal, stone, brick, or wood edging. Just enter the length of your specific product pieces and their cost.
For circles, measure the diameter and multiply by 3.14159 (π) to get the circumference. For curved areas, use a flexible measuring tape or rope to follow the curve exactly, then measure that length.
The calculator includes a waste factor, but consider buying one extra piece for future repairs or if you discover measurement errors during installation. It's better to have slightly too much than too little.
Total length needed is the entire perimeter you want to edge. Product length is how long each individual piece of edging is (commonly 8, 10, or 20 feet). The calculator determines how many pieces you need to buy.
Cost estimates are based on the price per unit you enter. Actual costs may vary due to taxes, shipping, quantity discounts, or price changes. Always verify current pricing with your supplier before purchasing.
Yes, this calculator works for projects of any size. For large commercial projects, you may want to increase the waste factor slightly to account for more complex logistics and installation challenges.
