Mulch and gravel volume calculator
Geometry only. We multiply area × depth to get bulk volume. Compaction, fluff factor and how the supplier sells (scoop vs bag) still belong to your yard or supplier conversation.
Cubic feet50.00 ft³
Cubic yards1.852 yd³
Key takeaways
- Solves L × W × h for the two measurement cultures you see on trucks.
- Outputs both ft³ and yd³ in U.S. mode for supplier quotes.
- No GPS, no map upload — you own the field measure.
- Pair with your seasonal scheduling pitch for Housecall or Jobber on the follow-up CTA.
- Runs offline after the page loads once.

Frequently asked questions
Does it tell me how many bags?
Not in v1. Divide the cubic feet by the coverage written on the bag for your target depth, or order bulk by the yard from your supplier.
Irregular beds?
Break the job into rectangles or average the width, then add a fudge factor in your head for curves.
Gravel under pavers?
Use a thicker depth input if your spec calls for a compacted lift — compaction is not modeled as a number here.
Metric vs imperial switch?
Toggle at the top — the math restarts in meters and centimeters for depth for EU crews.
