Different materials weigh different amounts, come in different bag sizes, and are ordered by the cubic yard or by the ton. These calculators combine volume with a planning density, so you can see yards, tons, and bags together.
Choose a material to see a coverage table, example quantities for common areas, and ordering tips. All weights are planning values, so confirm with your supplier.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic yards do I need?
Multiply length, width, and depth in feet, then divide by 27.
Why do tons and yards differ?
Suppliers sell some materials by weight and others by volume. The weight of a cubic yard depends on the material.
Are the weights exact?
No. They are planning values. Moisture and particle size change real weight.
