Hedge Plant Calculator
Estimate plants for a measured hedge run with transparent single-row and staggered double-row logic.

Hedges & trees
Hedge runs and tree plots both involve spacing, but the geometry and purchasing question are different.
Use the right quantity tool
Calculators for hedges & trees
Keep linear hedge quantities separate from larger-area tree density, hectares and acres.

Keep the project decisions separate from the arithmetic
Hedges are linear
Start with hedge length and a spacing that suits the actual species, stock size and planting system. Single and staggered double rows change the total without needing a square-metre area.
Tree plots are area and density
Tree Spacing Calculator supports hectares, acres and rectangular plots. It can compare square and staggered geometry, but tracks, margins and management access reduce real planted area.
General bed planting is a third job
Plant Spacing Calculator remains the tool for borders, ground cover, bedding and repeated plants in garden beds. Keeping the three intents separate makes the results easier to trust.
