The bed price is only the beginning.
Work out how much fill you need—and compare bagged mix with a bulk delivery—before you spend money on a raised bed.
Free calculator. No email needed. Sample dimensions below; replace them with yours. All prices start at $0 so you can use actual local quotes.
Your fill estimate
Volume assumes fill to your chosen depth with no allowance for settling. Bulk cost assumes you can order the exact calculated quantity; ask about minimum orders and delivery increments. Bagged and bulk products may have different ingredients and suitability—price alone is not a quality comparison. Coir blocks must be compared by their expanded volume.

Before you order
Check access for a delivery truck, measure the space around your bed, and ask your supplier exactly what is in the mix. A low fill price is only useful if the material suits the plants you plan to grow.
