Organize Every Project in YardCalc

Organize Every Project Cleanly

Never mix up site measurements between clients. YardCalc allows you to create isolated projects for every client address, complete with site notes and timestamped updates.

  • ✓
    Isolated Job Folders: Keep "Oakridge Patio", "Miller Backyard", and "Main St Curb" completely separate.
  • ✓
    Client & Site Metadata: Record client name, phone, address, and special delivery notes directly alongside calculations.
  • ✓
    Project Status: Quickly track draft estimates, active jobs, and completed installations.
Exact Quantities with Waste Factors

  • ✓
    Breakdown into Commercial Units: View results in cubic yards, metric tonnes, pallets, 80lb bags, or linear bundles.

    Ready-Mix vs. Bag Threshold: Automatic recommendations when a job is large enough to justify ordering a transit-mix truck.

Traditional Napkin Math vs. YardCalc

See why hundreds of contractors and DIY renovators keep YardCalc on their phone home screen.

❌ The Old Way

  • Scribbling dimensions on scrap 2x4s, cardboard, or crumpled receipts that get lost.
  • Mental math mistakes leading to shortages and 2-hour midday runs to the landscape depot.
  • Over-ordering non-returnable materials like concrete and fresh sod rolls, cutting into profit margins.
  • Delayed quote delivery—taking days to type up an estimate at night instead of closing on site.

⚡ The YardCalc Way

  • All job measurements, client notes, and material lists safely preserved inside discrete projects.
  • Precision mathematical formulas tailored specifically for concrete, stone, sod, pavers, and fences.
  • Built-in smart waste factor buffer guarantees you have enough material without burning cash.
  • Instant client quotes shared via WhatsApp or Email before walking away from the initial walkthrough.
