Why Use a Mulch & Soil Calculator?

Using a mulch and soil calculator can save you time and money. You won’t have to guess how much material you need, which often leads to overbuying or underbuying. Here are some key benefits:

How to Use the Calculator

Using the calculator is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

Measure Your Area: Start by measuring the length and width of your garden bed in feet.
Determine Depth: Decide how deep you want the mulch or soil to be, measured in inches.
Input Your Measurements: Enter the values into the calculator.

Understanding Cubic Yards

Cubic yards are a standard measurement for bulk materials. One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. This measurement helps you understand how much material fits in a given space.

When you input your measurements, the calculator converts your depth from inches to feet, calculates the total cubic feet, and then converts that to cubic yards. This way, you get an accurate estimate tailored to your specific project.
