Frequently Asked Questions
Why divide by 27?
One cubic yard equals 3 feet × 3 feet × 3 feet = 27 cubic feet, so dividing your total cubic feet (length × width × height in feet) by 27 converts it to cubic yards — the standard unit for ordering bulk materials.
What materials are typically ordered by cubic yard?
Concrete, gravel, mulch, topsoil, sand, and similar bulk materials are commonly priced and delivered by the cubic yard, making this conversion essential for ordering the right quantity.
Should I round up when ordering materials?
Yes — most suppliers recommend ordering 5-10% extra to account for settling, spillage, and minor measurement variance, since running short mid-project is usually more costly than having a small surplus.
