How YardCalc Works
YardCalc is a free suite of material calculators designed for homeowners, contractors, and landscapers working on outdoor projects. Whether you're building a gravel driveway, mulching garden beds, pouring a concrete patio, laying sod, or constructing a fence, our calculators give you precise material estimates in seconds.
Each calculator uses industry-standard formulas and real-world material densities to estimate cubic yards, tons, bags, rolls, blocks, or pickets — depending on the project type. Just enter your area dimensions and the calculator does the math instantly. No page reloads, no sign-ups, no ads.
All calculations run in your browser. We don't store your data or send it anywhere. Cost estimates are based on typical U.S. material prices and should be used as a starting point — always confirm pricing with your local supplier. We recommend ordering 5–10% extra material to account for waste, cuts, and uneven ground.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is YardCalc really free?
Yes — 100% free with no account required. All 10 calculators are available with no limits, no ads, and no hidden fees.
How accurate are the estimates?
Our calculators use industry-standard formulas and real-world material densities. They're typically accurate within 5–10% of actual requirements. We always recommend ordering 5–10% extra to account for waste, settling, and site variations.
What is a cubic yard?
A cubic yard is a unit of volume equal to 27 cubic feet (3 ft × 3 ft × 3 ft). It's the standard unit for ordering bulk landscape materials like gravel, mulch, topsoil, and sand.
How do I measure my project area?
Use a tape measure to get the length and width of your area in feet. For irregular shapes, break them into rectangles and calculate each separately. Our calculators accept feet and inches for precision.
Do the cost estimates include delivery?
No — cost estimates reflect typical material prices per cubic yard or per unit. Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance but usually add $50–$150. Contact your local supplier for exact pricing.
Can I use YardCalc on my phone?
Yes. YardCalc is fully mobile-friendly and works great on phones and tablets — perfect for when you're at the supply yard or on a job site.
