This calculator will help you figure out how much material, loads, bags and cost to fill an area to a certain depth.

For this, you will need to measure the area and use decimals for inches. For example, if your area is 10 feet long and 6 feet and 9 inches wide, you would enter 10 for length and 6.75 for width.

The next step is to determine how many inches of depth you require. Here you would enter the number in inches. For example, if you wish to apply 2 feet of soil to build up your area, you will enter 24 in the inch box.
