How the cubic yard calculator works
Cubic yards = (Length × Width × Depth in feet) ÷ 27
One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet (a 3 ft × 3 ft × 3 ft cube). Multiply your area by the depth to get cubic feet, then divide by 27. Bulk materials like concrete, gravel, topsoil, and mulch are all sold by the cubic yard.
