Note: 27 cubic feet equals 1 yard.

Just about everyday we have to calculate how many cubic yards of topsoil is needed to raise planting beds or how much mulch is necessary when dressing up planting beds. We hope the chart below will be helpful for quick estimates for calculating topsoil and mulch.

To use the chart just determine the suare footage of the area and look for that number on the chart (far left column). Then determine the depth of the topsoil or mulch you feel is needed and find that number along the depth row of the chart/ Where the two boxes intersect will be the approximate cubic yards of topsoil or mulch needed.

Also when using the chart to topsoil calculations, add 20% to the yardage recommended on the chart to account for compaction.
