Estimate a starting panel count from your run length and layout. The math is transparent, the rate is the published 4x8 rate, and the final number is confirmed in your quote once venue access and customization are known.
Every hedge run starts with the same simple math — one standard 4-foot panel per 4 linear feet, plus a panel for each corner. Enter your numbers below to see an estimate, how it compares to your market minimum, and a starting cost.
Estimated panel count
8panels
32 ft ÷ 4 ft per panel = 8 panels + 0 corner panels = 8 panels
San Diego minimum: 10 panels
This estimate is below the 10-panel minimum for San Diego. For smaller looks, a hedge arch, hedge letters, or an artificial living wall can work as a standalone piece below the panel minimum.
Starting estimate
$1,280
Starting estimate at the published $160/panel 4x8 rate — final quotes reflect delivery, access, and customization.
Transparent panel-count math
No black box — here is exactly how the calculator gets to its number.
Start with the run
Use one standard 4-foot panel for every 4 linear feet. Divide your run length by 4 and round up.
Add corner panels
Corners need a panel to turn cleanly: L-corner adds 1, U-shape adds 2, and an enclosed square adds 4.
Double for both sides
If guests see both faces of the run, double the count. Actual double-sided visibility is confirmed in the quote.
Final count depends on corners, entrances, gaps, double-sided visibility, height needs, surface conditions, branding, venue access, and setup requirements. Standard panels are 8'H × 4'L, with 4'H × 4'L, 5'H × 8'L, and 34"H × 4'L options available.
