If you already know the area, skip measuring length and width. Enter square feet and depth for cubic yards.
How it works
Square feet × depth in inches ÷ 12 gives cubic feet. Divide by 27 for cubic yards.
Before you order
- Use average depth when the surface slopes.
- Bulk suppliers usually round up, so check before you pay for extra.
- Convert area units first if your measurement came from a square-yard quote.
