This tool will calculate the cubic feet of soil you need based on your garden’s dimensions.
Cubic Foot Calculator for Soil
How to Use the Calculator
To calculate the volume of soil needed in cubic feet:
- Enter the length of the area in feet.
- Enter the width of the area in feet.
- Enter the depth of the area in feet.
- Click the “Calculate” button.
- The result will be displayed in the “Result” field in cubic feet.
How It Works
The calculator computes the volume based on the formula for a rectangular prism:
Volume = Length × Width × Depth
All measurements should be provided in feet to get the result in cubic feet.
Limitations
Note that this calculator assumes all measurements are perfectly accurate and the area is a perfect rectangular prism. Variations in the actual area shape, sloped depths, and measurement inaccuracies can affect the actual amount of soil needed. Always consider ordering slightly more soil than calculated to account for any discrepancies.
