Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate cubic yards?

How many cubic yards do I need for a 10×10 area at 3 inches deep?
10 × 10 × 0.25 ft = 25 cu ft ÷ 27 = 0.93 cubic yards. Always round up and add 10% for settling.
How much does a cubic yard of gravel weigh?
Typically 2,800–3,300 lbs (1,270–1,500 kg) depending on type. Check with your supplier for exact weight.
