How this calculator works

Use finished coverage dimensions and depth. The displayed weight depends on your chosen soil density; wet soil can be much heavier.

Formula

Length × width × depth in inches ÷ 12 ÷ 27 × (1 + extra percentage).

Before you use the result

Calculator outputs are estimates based on the numbers you provide. Replace the examples with measurements, costs, rates, or product information appropriate to your situation.

Keep in mind

Soil compaction, moisture, and local delivery increments can materially affect the amount to order.
