Bulk Material Calculation
We sell all of our bulk materials by the cubic yard. A cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet. Use the following formulas and chart to help you determine how many cubic yards of material your project requires. As a general guide 1 cubic yard of aggregate, sand, or dirt is equivalent to 1.5 tons. Formulas for determining your Square Footage:
1 Cubic Yard = (Length x Width x Depth divided by 27)
1 Inch Depth 324 Sq. Ft. 2 Inch Depth 162 Sq. Ft. 3 Inch Depth 108 Sq. Ft. 4 Inch Depth 81 Sq. Ft. 5 Inch Depth 67 Sq. Ft. 6 Inch Depth 54 Sq. Ft. 7 Inch Depth 47 Sq. Ft. 8 Inch Depth 40 Sq. Ft. 9 Inch Depth 36 Sq. Ft. 10 Inch Depth 33 Sq. Ft. 11 Inch Depth 30 Sq. Ft. 12 Inch Depth 27 Sq. Ft.
Grass/ Sod Calculation
Sod sizes are approximately 16" x 24" solid sod pieces. There are approximately 150-160 pieces in a 50 sq. yard pallet that covers a 450 sq. foot area. Depending on moisture a pallet weighs between 2,000 and 3,000 pounds.
Determine amount need by pieces by finding sq. ft. (Length x Width). Take square footage divide by 9 for total yards. Multiply total yard by 3.5. This is how many pieces you need to cover your area. Pieces formula = (L x W ) /9 x 3.5 = Total Pieces |
