A scoop is our loader's bucket: half a cubic metre (0.5 m³), and 2 scoops make a cubic metre.

Loose products are sold by the bag, the half scoop, the scoop and the cubic metre.

Measure the length and width in metres and decide how deep you want it.

The calculator turns that into cubic metres, scoops and bags, and gives a price estimate from our price list.

We recommend 100 mm of bark or mulch.

For stones, allow twice the size of the stone: at least 30 mm for 8-14 mm stone, and 80 mm for 40 mm stone.

We always check it with you when you order.

Bark and compost come in 45 L bags, stones and sand in 15 L bags, soil in 20 L bags, and grow blend in 35 L bags.
