Quick Tips Before You Order Materials
Should I order extra material to be safe?
Yes, it's recommended to order around 5–10% extra to account for settling, compaction, or minor miscalculations. Material like mulch compresses, and gravel may shift during leveling.
What depth should I use for mulch, gravel, or concrete?
For mulch, 2–3 inches is typical. For gravel driveways, 4–6 inches is recommended. For concrete slabs, 4 inches is standard for patios and sidewalks, while driveways often use 5–6 inches.
Can this calculator be used for soil or sand?
Yes! This cubic yard calculator works for any bulk material measured by volume, including topsoil, sand, compost, rock, or fill dirt.
