Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-06-13

These terms govern your use of gardencalcs.uk (the “site”). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. What the site provides

The site is a free library of gardening and landscaping calculators plus reference content — covering soil and compost volumes, plant and seed spacing, lawn and turf areas, fertiliser and feed rates, paving and decking, fencing, watering and growing. It is provided “as is” without account registration or payment.

2. Accuracy and your own measurements

Calculators are estimates based on standard horticultural practice, typical product coverage rates, and the dimensions and figures you enter. Real-world results depend on your soil type and condition, the specific products and plants you use, settlement and compaction, the weather and the season, and how you prepare the ground. Always measure your own plot, check the manufacturer’s coverage figures on the bag or pack, and allow for wastage before ordering materials or sowing.

Treat every result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Soil, compost and aggregate quantities in particular vary with depth, compaction and ground levels, so order a little extra where you can. We round and estimate conservatively, but we cannot account for every soil, product or garden, so verify quantities and measurements against the product data and your own plot before you commit. Always follow product label rates for fertilisers, weedkillers and other treatments.

3. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:

indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of the site;
loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business interruption, or anticipated savings;
wasted materials, failed plantings, or errors or omissions in calculator output;
out-of-date citations where product rates or standards have since changed;
third-party links and their content.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under English law.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

scrape the site in bulk using automated tools faster than a reasonable human pace;
attempt to reverse-engineer, modify, or break the site’s services;
misrepresent the site’s content as official guidance or as an endorsement of a product;

5. Intellectual property

Page text, charts, UI design, calculator logic, and code are protected by copyright unless stated otherwise. You may:

view, save, and print pages for personal or internal business use;

You may not: republish substantial extracts, scrape at scale for training commercial AI systems, or present the site’s content as your own.

6. Privacy

7. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when the law, our services, or our practices change. The “last updated” date reflects the most recent revision.
