Material Calculators

Cubic yards, tons, and bags for the materials people order most.

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.
