Cubic Yard Calculation:
Length in feet multiplied by Width in feet, then divided by 9, then divided by 36, and multiplied by desired depth in inches, equals cubic yards.
Example:
15′ x 30′ = 450 sq. ft.
450/9= 50
50/36=1.3888
1.3888 x 4 = 5.555 *
*This means you would need 5.5 cubic yards of product to cover a 450 sq. ft. area at a 4″ depth.
We also offer delivery services, installation and more.
