Artificial Hedge Coverage & Cost Calculator
Enter a wall or fence width and height to estimate total square footage, the number of full cases of 20 × 20-inch boxwood mats, and a material-cost band from Geranium Street's published starting rates. Use it to plan; a quote confirms final pricing, availability, and freight.
Estimate square footage, cases, and material cost
The calculator uses the site's verified panel constants and published starting rates. Openings, overlaps, field cuts, pattern direction, and attachment details can change the final quantity, so Geranium Street confirms the order with a quote.
72 sq ft surface + 0% allowance = 26 panels, sold in full cases of 12. 3 cases supply 36 panels (~100 sq ft of material), and the cost band prices that material.

Artificial hedge cost and quantity, answered
Direct answers to the two questions the calculator is built around. The figures below are starting material rates and planning constants; the exact product, availability, and freight are confirmed with a quote.
How much do artificial hedges cost per square foot?
Published starting material rates are $6 per square foot for UV boxwood mats and $8 for fire-rated mats, while UV foliage rolls start at $12 and UV plus fire-rated rolls at $15 per square foot. These are starting material rates before delivery or installation; a quote confirms final pricing.
How many artificial hedge panels do I need?
Each mat is a 20 by 20-inch panel with about 2.78 square feet of face area, and mats ship 12 per case, roughly 33.3 square feet per case before allowance. Divide your total square footage by 2.78 for panels, add a cut-and-layout allowance, then round up to full cases.
