Which calculator for which job
These pages split the yard by what the material does, so each one gives the right units and the right extra for settling.
| Job | Use | Sold by |
|---|---|---|
| Beds around shrubs and trees | Mulch calculator | cubic yard or bag |
| Driveway, base under a patio or shed | Gravel calculator | ton or cubic yard |
| Leveling a lawn or filling low spots | Topsoil calculator | cubic yard or ton |
| A new lawn | Sod calculator | pallet or roll |
| Clearing out the old stuff first | Dumpster size calculator | container size |
Every calculator here lets you add several areas, pick the depth, and see the order in the units your supplier quotes. Prices come from you; we never guess what a yard of mulch costs where you live. Stone and soil settle when they are compacted, so those pages add for it and say how much. Mulch and sod do not.
