Calculate Your Tree Replacement Risk & Project Savings
Urban tree planting projects require significant investment in stock, labour, watering and ongoing maintenance. When newly planted trees fail to establish, the cost of replacement can quickly escalate across large-scale projects.
This calculator has been designed to help councils, landscape architects, contractors and project managers estimate:
- potential tree replacement exposure
- TerraCottem product requirements
- projected replacement losses
- and potential savings achieved through improved establishment rates.
By entering your planting quantities and estimated replacement costs, you can build a clearer picture of the financial impact tree failure may have on your project β and how TerraCottem may help reduce those risks.
Clients using TerraCottem have reported survival rates of up to 90%, while also reducing watering inputs and replacement costs across urban planting programs.
Project cost and replacement savings calculator
Estimate your full project planting risk, TerraCottem needs and possible savings
Enter the quantity of each plant size in your project, then add your expected failure rate and replacement costs. This calculator estimates your total TerraCottem requirement, TerraCottem product cost, replacement exposure and potential net savings.

Replacement cost assumptions
Your estimated project result
Assumptions: TerraCottem product cost is calculated using volume-based kg pricing. The TerraCottem scenario uses a background survival rate of 90%. Product cost excludes freight, labour, GST and other project costs unless added separately. Estimated costs are indicative only and should be adjusted to match local council, contractor, watering and maintenance rates.
