Topsoil, Dirt, Mulch, and Sand Calculator
Whether you're repairing a lawn, building a garden, leveling a yard, or filling low spots around your property, knowing how much material to order is essential. Use our topsoil calculator to estimate the cubic yards needed for your project based on dimensions and depth of your space.
We recommend ordering slightly extra material to account for settling, grading, and project variations. Our material calculator can help estimate the amount of topsoil, compost, mulch, sand, decorative stone, and specialty soil mixes needed for your next landscaping project. We sell all our products by the cubic yard, so your delivery is based on a volume measurement rather than the weight of the material (weight can vary depending on the moisture content of it).
