Calculate compost, aggregate, bark, decomposed granite, base rock, and other yard materials by cubic yard and estimated tons.
Estimate fertilizer, compost, decomposed granite, aggregate, bark, and base rock in cubic yards, cubic feet, and tons.
Use the same cubic yard formula for compost, bark, decomposed granite, aggregate, base rock, and similar yard materials. Density only changes the estimated tons.
Use consistent units before calculating. When depth is entered in inches, the calculator converts it to feet before dividing by 27.
Practical notes for measuring, converting, and ordering with fewer surprises.
A compost cubic yard calculator helps estimate garden amendments, topdressing, and bed-building material. Enter the area and compost depth to get cubic yards and cubic feet.
This aggregate calculator yards tool can also estimate decomposed granite, DG, base rock, and bark. Pick the matching material profile so the tons estimate is closer to real ordering needs.
For fertilizer blends sold by bag weight, follow the product label coverage rate. For bulk compost, bark, DG, or aggregate, this yard fertilizer calculator gives the volume foundation for ordering.
This page focuses on the main calculator topic while covering closely related project phrases people use when estimating material quantities.
Short answers for the questions that usually come up before ordering material.
Yes for volume-based bag sizes. For fertilizer sold by weight, use the label coverage rate instead.
Yes. Choose the decomposed granite material profile, then enter area and depth.
No. It is a planning estimate. Supplier density for the exact product is best for final orders.
