Yard material calculators

Start with the product you plan to buy. Each tool uses material-specific density, packaging, settling, compaction, or waste assumptions and leaves those values visible for supplier confirmation.

Choose by purchase unit

Use cubic yards when the supplier loads by volume, tons when material is sold across a scale, and whole bags for retail packages. Density links volume and weight but varies by product, moisture, and gradation, so each calculator keeps it editable.

Material pages are not name swaps

The tools differ where the purchase does: soil settles and is bagged by volume, decorative rock is commonly sold by ton, decomposed granite needs a compaction allowance, and mulch uses low-density cubic-foot packages. Use project tools when one job needs several materials.
