This page only owns the edging perimeter and the small accessories that go with it: corner allowance, product count, stakes, and connector framing. It does not replace the paver, mulch, stone, or fabric calculators that own the rest of the material stack.
Order length = (base length + corner allowance) x (1 + waste %)
Once the order length is set, the calculator converts that perimeter into sections, coils, or stones based on the selected product model.

Bed edging vs open-edge restraint
Decorative bed borders and hardscape restraint are related, but they are not the same job. Decorative edging is mostly about clean lines and maintenance boundaries. Open-edge restraint is about holding the edge of loose aggregate or hardscape layers in place. This utility supports both use cases without pretending the products are interchangeable.
