Calculate your quantity
Use your measured area and the actual product specification. The result updates as you change an input.
How this estimate works
Cubic yards = measured square feet × material depth in inches ÷ 324. Bags use the package volume; tons use the supplier density.
A calculated fill volume describes space, not a soil amendment recommendation. The correct mix and nutrient additions depend on the site and soil test.
Before you order
- Measure inside dimensions and usable fill depth.
- Ask what the soil or compost blend contains.
- Use soil testing and local growing advice before adding amendments.
Planning estimates can differ from delivered or installed quantities.
