Terms and Conditions
These terms set the deal between you and Yardwork Calculator. We kept them short and plain on purpose. When you use this site, you accept them.
Free planning tools
Yardwork Calculator offers free calculators and guides for home and yard projects. The tools estimate material amounts. The guides walk through common jobs.
That planning help is the whole service. The site sells nothing and books no work.
Anyone may use the tools. No account, no fee and no time limit applies.
Results are estimates
Every result on this site is an estimate. The tools run standard formulas on the sizes you type. Real jobs vary in ways no formula can see.
Ground shifts and dips. Loose material settles and packs. Cuts waste stock, and boards come in fixed lengths. Suppliers round their loads their own way.
Treat each number as a strong starting point for an order and a budget. Never treat it as a guarantee.
The same job can take more material on rough ground and less on flat, firm ground. Your site decides which end you land on.
Verify before you buy
Measure twice before you order once. A wrong tape reading beats any formula, and the tool can only use the numbers you give it.
Confirm big orders with your supplier before you pay. Ask how their material packs, settles and rounds. Their answer can shift your order by a bag or by a yard.
Once a truck dumps a load in your drive, a wrong amount becomes your cost. The two checks above take minutes and save real money.
Keep your receipt and your measurements together until the job ends. They settle most disputes with a supplier in one short talk.
When a job needs a professional
Some work carries real risk. Retaining walls can fail. Footings hold up buildings. Drainage near a house can flood it. Structural work can hurt people when it goes wrong.
Hire a licensed professional to design and approve that kind of work. Follow your local codes and permit rules.
Our tools size material for simple jobs. They never replace an engineer, an inspector or a permit.
Buried lines add one more risk. Locate pipes and cables before any deep digging.
Your project, your decisions
You own your project decisions. You choose the design, the materials, the sizes and the suppliers.
The site gives you numbers to plan with. What you build with those numbers is yours, start to finish.
If a number from this site and advice from a pro ever clash, follow the pro. The pro has seen your ground. The site has not.
Site content and ownership
The words, design and tool code on this site belong to Yardwork Calculator, unless a page credits someone else.
You may use the tools freely and quote any result for your own project. You may not copy the site in bulk, mirror it, or sell its content as your own.
The formulas themselves are public knowledge. Our words, layout and code are the part we own.
Links to third parties
Pages here link to supplier and reference sites for convenience. We do not run those sites.
We do not vouch for their prices, stock, safety or claims. A link is a pointer, not a promise. Any deal you make there is between you and them.
The site may change
We may add, change, pause or remove a tool at any time. Guides and pages may move.
We work to keep the site online and the math right. Still, we do not promise the site will never go down, and we do not promise it will never hold an error. If you spot an error, the contact page is the fastest fix.
Saved links to a moved page may break. The toolbox on the homepage always lists the current tools.
Liability in plain words
We provide this site as is, without warranties of any kind.
To the fullest extent the law allows, Yardwork Calculator holds no liability for losses that follow from the use of this site. That includes wrong orders, wasted material, delays and project costs.
The waste allowance in each tool and the checks in these terms exist to cut that risk. Please use both.
Nothing in these terms removes a right that your local law gives you and that the law will not let us remove.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site grows. The date at the bottom of this page shows the current version.
When you keep using the site after a change, you accept the new terms.

Questions about these terms go through the contact page. We read every message.
