Yardage Calculator
Use the calculator below to calculate how much of a bulk material you would need. Works for: Bark, Compost, Topsoil, Gravel, Crushed Rock and Round Rock.
One Yard Covers:
Use the coverage chart below as a handy reference tool for figuring cubic yards
Simply take your square footage and divide by the coverage for your desired depth.
Example:
- I have 300 square feet and I want to put bark in 2″ deep.
- At 2″ deep, one yard covers 162 sq ft (per chart below)
- So 300 divided by 162 = 1.85 yards
One Cubic Yard

| 108 Sq. Ft…..3″ Deep |
| 81 Sq. Ft…..4″ Deep |
| 65 Sq. Ft…..5″ Deep |
| 54 Sq. Ft…..6″ Deep |
