How to Use the Garden Soil Calculator

Enter the length, width, and depth of your garden area to estimate how much soil you need. The calculator provides the estimated volume in cubic feet and cubic yards.

When purchasing bagged soil, check the volume listed on the bag and compare it with your calculator result. You may want to purchase a little extra to account for settling and uneven areas.
