Bulk Volume Calculator

Cubic Yard Calculator (Up to 4 Areas)

Use this to estimate bulk materials like soil, mulch, gravel, sand, and rock.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Measure each area: If your project has multiple sections (beds, paths, side yards, etc.), enter each one in Area 1–4.
  2. Enter length & width (feet): Use the best rectangle estimate for each section.
  3. Enter depth (inches): Use the average depth if it varies.
  4. Totals are automatic: Blank areas count as 0 and won’t affect the total.
  5. Rounding: Choose how you want to round up your final order to avoid coming up short.

Quick depth guide: Mulch 3–4", Topsoil 2–4", Gravel/Decor Rock 2–3", Base/road crush 4–6" (compacted).

Area 1

Area 1 volume 0.00 yd³

Area 2

Area 2 volume 0.00 yd³

Area 3

Area 3 volume 0.00 yd³

Area 4

Area 4 volume 0.00 yd³
Total exact volume 0.00 yd³
Total recommended order 0.00 yd³

Formula per area: (Length × Width × (Depth/12)) ÷ 27 — Totals are summed.
