Use the result as a planning estimate and verify project-specific measurements, product information and site conditions where relevant.
How it works
The calculator divides the planting run into enough equal intervals that the spacing does not exceed your maximum, with a plant at each end.
plants = ceil(run length ÷ max spacing) + 1Worked example
A 50 ft run at a 3 ft maximum spacing is divided into equal intervals with plants at both ends.
Assumptions
- The first and last plant positions are at the ends of the measured run.
Limitations
- Mature spread, site conditions and species-specific recommendations may require different spacing.
