All quantity calculations are based on same formula as soil.
Square feet x Depth/27 = total yards.
Soil Calculations:
Both sold by the yard only, calculate soil quantities like mulch. Calculate depth in inches. (Ex. 3”=.25, 6”=.5, 9”=.75, 12”=1) Get square feet and approximate depth needed.
Formula:
Total square feet(depth)/27 = total yards
Example:
100’x20’ = 2,000 Sq. Ft.
2,000Sq. Ft.(.5 or 6”)/27 = total yards
1,000/27 = total yards
37 total yards |
