A tool utilized in landscape design and construction, it provides an estimate of the quantity of rock material required to cover a specific area. As an example, a user inputs the dimensions of a garden bed and the desired depth of gravel; the instrument then calculates the volume of gravel needed, typically expressed in cubic yards or tons.
The application of such tools offers significant advantages. Efficient material planning reduces waste, saving both money and resources. Historically, landscape professionals relied on manual calculations, which were prone to error. The introduction of automated calculation methods improved accuracy and streamlined the project planning phase.
