Material Calculator Tips
- Always order 5-10% extra material to account for settling, spillage, and uneven terrain.
- Depth is measured in inches, not feet. Common depths: 2-3 inches for mulch, 2-4 inches for gravel.
- One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and covers roughly 108 square feet at 3 inches deep.
- Bulk delivery is usually more cost-effective than bags for areas larger than 200 square feet.
- Prices vary by region, supplier, and season. Contact local suppliers for exact quotes.
- For irregularly shaped areas, break them into simpler shapes and add the totals together.
