Resource - Area Yardage Calculator

As you're planning your landscape project, you'll need to know how much of your materials to purchase. It's easy:

• First you have to find three measurements: length, width and height (note, all these measurements should be in feet)
• Then you have to do a little mathematics: take all three numbers and multiply them together. Then take your total and divide by 27 (note, this formula will only work if all your measurements are in feet)
• A "yard", by definition, is 27 cubic feet, which is a cube in the dimensions of  3 feet wide x 3 feet deep x 3 feet tall
