How to Calculate a Cubic Yard

Bulk material is sold by the “cubic yard.” A cubic yard contains 27 cubic feet. Picture a box made with the dimensions of a yard stick and that would be a cubic yard. 

To calculate how much compost/mulch is needed, use the following formula: Multiply length x width x depth; divide by 12, then divide by 27. This will equal the cubic yards needed.
