How do you calculate how many cubic yards of gravel, sand, soil, or other rock products you need? In this video, we talk about how to calculate the volume of your project area—or, in other words, how much material you need to fill your project area.

We also talk about related topics: how to calculate the volume of different yard shapes, which Internet tools can help you, how tonnage is calculated, and why supply yards sell by the cubic yard in the first place.

Check out our companion article, “What Does a Cubic Yard Look Like? Your Material Measured”: https://www.wa-rock.com/what-does-a-cubic-yard-look-like-how-your-material-is-measured/

The article includes another math example and a diagram that shows how much material different vehicles can carry.
