Volume/Area Calculator

To find out how much garden area a cubic yard can cover at a depth of 6 inches, here’s the breakdown:

Quick Answer:

1 cubic yard covers about 54 square feet at a 6-inch depth.

• Why:
  • 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet
  • 6 inches = 0.5 feet
  • Area = Volume ÷ Depth
    → 27 cubic feet /0.5 feet = 54 square feet

• Examples:
  • 1 cubic yard at 6″ deep = 54 sq ft
  • 2 cubic yards at 6″ deep = 108 sq ft
  • 5 cubic yards at 6″ deep = 270 sq ft
