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
- Measure each area: If your project has multiple sections (beds, paths, side yards, etc.), enter each one in Area 1–4.
- Enter length & width (feet): Use the best rectangle estimate for each section.
- Enter depth (inches): Use the average depth if it varies.
- Totals are automatic: Blank areas count as 0 and won’t affect the total.
- 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).
