Free planners and calculators estimate materials, costs, dimensions, and work order for DIY projects including patios, fences, and driveways.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-28 issue.

For: DIYers planning patios, fences, or driveways
Worth noticing: The paver-patio example lists 713 pavers and estimates materials at $1,006; the site advises checking quantities with suppliers and local building codes.

Field notes

The sample project sheets include more than shopping quantities: the patio example specifies a 7⅜-inch dig depth, while the fence example shows post spacing, burial depth, and a gate. Standalone calculators cover topics ranging from concrete slabs and gravel to roof pitch and carpet. The site cautions that its plans and quantities are estimates, to be checked with suppliers and local building codes.
