Cubic Yards = (Square Feet ร Depth in Inches) รท 324
Packaging Conversions:
โข 1 Cubic Yard = 13.5 standard 2.0 cu ft bags.
โข 1 Cubic Yard = 9.0 heavy 3.0 cu ft bags.
โข Standard single-axle dump truck = 5โ8 cu yds bulk.
Tons = Cubic Yards ร Bulk Density (~1.4 Tons/ydยณ)
Standard base crushed stone (#57 limestone or crusher run) compacts by approximately 12โ15% when tamped with a mechanical plate compactor.
1 Sod Roll = 16โณ ร 6โฒ or 2โฒ ร 5โฒ = 10 Square Feet
A standard sod pallet contains 45โ50 rolls (450โ500 sq ft). We recommend adding a +8% to +10% waste factor to account for diagonal trimming along curvilinear lawn borders.
Area = ยฝ |โ (xแตข ยท yแตขโโ โ xแตขโโ ยท yแตข)|
This enables exact boundary calculations across complex curvilinear flower beds, winding flagstone walkways, and multi-sided pool decks.
