Mulch / Landscape Material Calculator
Calculate cubic yards of mulch, gravel, topsoil, or sand. Compares bag-vs-bulk pricing and coverage at different depths.
LIFESTYLECalculate cubic yards of mulch, gravel, topsoil, sand, or decorative rock you need for a landscape project. Includes bag-vs-bulk pricing comparison and coverage at standard depths.
Cubic yards = (length × width × depth) / 27 with everything in feet. A 10 × 20 ft bed at 3 in deep needs (10 × 20 × 0.25) / 27 = 1.85 cubic yards. Order 10% extra. Bag vs bulk: 27 cu ft per yard means 13.5 bags at 2 cu ft each. Bulk delivery saves 30-50% per yard but requires a truck or driveway pile.
Disclaimer: Estimates assume level ground. Slope or uneven terrain may require 10-20% more material. Always confirm volume with your supplier before delivery.
