Measure first
Measure the surface area first, then use the installed material depth or supplier coverage value rather than guessing from bag size alone.

BETTER INPUTS, BETTER ESTIMATES
Plan Landscaping & Yard projects with fewer surprises
Mulch, gravel, soil, sand, pavers, sod and seed projects where area, depth, density or coverage matter.
Use project-specific values
Where a calculator asks for coverage, yield, spacing, density, package size or price, use the value from the actual product or quote whenever possible.
Verify before ordering
Bulk density and compaction vary by material and moisture content, so use supplier values for weight-sensitive purchases.
