About Cubic Yard Calculations
Conversion Factors
Imperial System:
- 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet
- 1 cubic yard = 46,656 cubic inches
- 1 cubic yard ≈ 0.76456 cubic meters
- 1 cubic foot ≈ 0.03704 cubic yards
Metric System:
- 1 cubic meter ≈ 1.30795 cubic yards
- 1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters
- 1 cubic meter = 1,000,000 cubic centimeters
- 1 cubic centimeter ≈ 0.000001308 cubic yards
Common Materials
| Material | Weight per Cubic Yard | Typical Cost Range | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Topsoil | 1,080-1,620 lbs | $10-$50 | Gardening, landscaping |
| Mulch | 400-800 lbs | $20-$60 | Garden beds, tree bases |
| Gravel | 2,200-2,700 lbs | $15-$75 | Driveways, drainage |
| Sand | 2,300-2,700 lbs | $15-$50 | Concrete mixing, playgrounds |
| Concrete | 3,700-4,000 lbs | $100-$150 | Foundations, slabs, walkways |
Calculation Formulas
Square/Rectangle:
Volume = Length × Width × Depth
Rectangle Border:
Volume = (Outer L × Outer W) – (Inner L × Inner W) × Depth
Circle:
Volume = π × (Diameter/2)² × Depth
Annulus (Ring):
Volume = π × (R² – r²) × Depth
(R=outer radius, r=inner radius)
Triangle:
Volume = (Base × Height / 2) × Depth
Trapezoid:
Volume = (Length A + Length B) × Height / 2 × Depth
Cubic Yards:
For feet: ÷ 27
For meters: × 1.30795
Weight:
Volume (cu yd) × Density (lbs/cu yd)
