Quick reference cheat sheet

Cubic yardsOne cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. At 3 inches deep, one cubic yard of mulch covers about 108 sq ft.
Concrete bagsAn 80 lb bag of mix yields about 0.60 cubic feet, so a cubic yard takes roughly 45 bags.
Stone weightCrushed stone and gravel weigh about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Always check with your supplier.

How these calculators work

Every calculator uses the standard area × depth volume formula, converts to the units suppliers sell in, and lets you add a waste allowance. The formulas are shown on each page so you can check the maths, and you can enter your own prices for a cost estimate.
