Landscape material takeoffs
Measure the visible footprint, define the application depth and build a more transparent material estimate. We support landscape contractors with aerial area takeoffs and separately scoped bulk-material stockpile measurements.
Connect the plan to the material.
A documented starting point for ordering mulch, soil, gravel or other landscape materials.
Where it helps
- Mulch and topsoil application areas
- Gravel and decorative-stone coverage
- Commercial landscape renovation zones
- Supply-yard inventory measurement
Your deliverables
- Annotated areas with agreed inclusions and exclusions
- Area schedule in the requested units
- Calculated volume using customer-specified depths
- Assumptions for slopes, hidden edges and additional allowances
Final formats, coverage and review requirements are confirmed in your proposal.
From brief to report
Separate the work zones
Identify beds, open areas and excluded features. Confirm whether the estimate uses horizontal plan area or needs additional ground information on slopes.
Confirm the specification
Your team supplies application depths and any compaction or waste allowances. Different materials or depths get separate calculations.
Deliver the takeoff
Provide the annotated footprint and a calculation trail so the estimator can adjust the order when specifications change.
Scope and review requirements
Overhead imagery does not reveal hidden bed edges, subsurface conditions or installed depth. Application quantities depend on the specified depth and field conditions. Plant counts, grading design and engineered drainage are not assumed in this scope.
Tell us about the site.
Share a plan or marked image, material list, depths, measurement units and bid deadline. Identify tree-covered areas that need ground confirmation.

Before we fly
How do square feet become cubic yards?
For a uniform layer, multiply square feet by depth in inches and divide by 324. This theoretical volume excludes allowances and does not describe an irregular stockpile.
Can you measure our supply piles as well?
Yes. Pile volume uses a reconstructed surface and base reference, a different method from multiplying an application area by a specified depth.
