Measure the beds, paths, patios and walls of a job on the satellite map or on foot with GPS, gather them into one project, and get the list to order: mulch, gravel, pavers, wall blocks, edging and concrete, in bags, big bags, truckloads or tons, with your prices and your suppliers.
▬ ONE PROJECT, EVERY ZONE
• A project holds every area of a job: the mulch bed, the gravel path, the paver patio, the retaining wall, the shed slab.
• Each zone takes its size from a saved measurement, or from dimensions you type.
• The same material across zones adds up to one line: three beds of bark mulch become a single order.
▬ MEASURE THE AREA
• Draw it: tap the corners on the satellite view, drag them under a magnifier, undo any step. See the imagery date, or pick an older year.
• Walk it: follow the edge with GPS, or stop at each corner for an averaged point. Accuracy is shown as a ± figure: a good estimate, not a legal survey.
• Leave out what is not covered: a pond, the house, a patio, drawn as holes. The project's other zones show on the map in the color of their material.
▬ HARDSCAPE, NOT JUST MULCH
• Loose materials: mulch, gravel, topsoil, compost, river rock, decomposed granite, sand and crushed stone base, at the depth you choose.
• Pavers and slabs: size, joint width and waste allowance give the piece count, plus bedding sand, joint sand and the crushed stone base.
• Retaining wall: blocks per course and courses for the height, caps, drainage gravel, drain pipe and the base trench.
• Edging by the foot or the meter, or in pieces. Concrete slabs in cubic yards or cubic meters, with their base.
▬ BAGS, BIG BAGS, TRUCKLOADS
• Every bulk line converts to tons from its density, to bags by volume or by weight, to big bags and to truckloads. A truck is full when its bed or its payload is, whichever comes first.
• Densities and pack sizes are common presets you can change to match your supplier.
• Choose how you buy each material, your price per unit and the supplier.
▬ A PURCHASE ORDER IN PDF
• Totals by supplier and for the whole job.
• One PDF with the zones, then one table per supplier: quantity, unit price, cost and subtotal. Send it to the yard or hand it to your client.
• The app never invents a price. It does the arithmetic on yours.
▬ YARDS OR METERS
Square feet or square meters, acres or hectares, inches or centimeters, cubic yards or cubic meters, tons or tonnes: the app follows your phone or your settings.
▬ ON SITE
• A GPS walk survives a locked screen, a phone call, even the app being closed.
• A PDF report of any measurement with the map to scale, and GPX, KML, CSV or GeoJSON exports.
▬ WHAT IT WILL NEVER DO
• No account, no sign-up.
• No subscription. A single purchase removes ads for good.
• Your measurements and projects stay on your phone unless you export them.
