Planning a landscaping project?

Most landscaping projects follow a predictable sequence: measure the area, calculate materials, add 10-15% waste, then order delivery. Here are the rules of thumb pros use.

Rule #1

Always add 10-15%

Bulk orders need extra for settling, compaction, and edge waste.

Rule #2

Bulk at 2+ yards

Bulk delivery pays off at 2+ cubic yards. Below that, bagged is often cheaper.

Rule #3

Measure twice

Cross-measure in two directions. A 10% measuring error becomes real money on large projects.

Rule #4

Call 811

Free locate service before digging. Hitting a gas line the hard way costs thousands.
