Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cubic yard?
A cubic yard is a unit of volume equal to 27 cubic feet (3 feet × 3 feet × 3 feet). It’s commonly used to measure materials like soil, mulch, or concrete.
How do I measure my area?
For rectangular areas, measure length and width in feet. For triangular areas, measure all three sides. For round areas, measure the radius (half the diameter). Depth is typically measured in inches.
Why is depth in inches?
Depth is often measured in inches for precision, especially for thin layers like mulch or topsoil. Our calculator converts inches to feet automatically.
Can I use this for concrete?
Yes! Enter the dimensions of your concrete slab or footing, and the calculator will estimate the cubic yards needed.
