CalcShed's landscaping calculators estimate bulk yard and garden materials - mulch, topsoil, compost, sod, grass seed, fill dirt, and decorative stone - by area and depth. Enter your dimensions and each tool converts to cubic yards, tons, bags, or rolls with an adjustable waste factor, so you order the right amount for beds, lawns, and hardscape projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What landscaping calculators does CalcShed have?

Mulch, topsoil, compost, sod, grass seed, fill dirt, and decorative stone (pea gravel and river rock).

How do I measure my area?

For rectangles, multiply length by width; add up sections for irregular shapes. Enter the area and depth and the calculator returns cubic yards, tons, bags, or rolls.

How deep should mulch or topsoil be?

Mulch is usually 2–3 inches; topsoil for new lawns is often 4–6 inches. Depth depends on your goal, and the calculators adjust quantities accordingly.

Should I order by the ton or the cubic yard?

Bulk materials are sold both ways. The calculators show cubic yards and tons (plus bag counts) so you can match whatever your supplier uses.
