How do I estimate materials for a project?

To manually measure for a materials estimate, start by measuring the area’s width and length. Multiply to get the square footage of the space. Multiply your square footage by the depth in feet to calculate cubic feet. Then, divide that number by 27 to get the cubic yards.

You can also use our materials calculator, which will handle all the math for you.

Keep in mind that specific projects may require more or less material than estimated. If you need more hands-on guidance, one of our materials experts will be happy to assist.

How can I calculate the cost of landscape rock and delivery?

Start by using the measurements above or using a materials calculator to determine how many cubic yards or tons of material you need. Then, multiply that by the price of your chosen material. Delivery fees vary considerably based on location and distance from your supplier. You may qualify for free delivery if your order exceeds a specific amount.

Can I use a material estimator for walkway projects?

Yes. You would calculate your material needs in the same way as any other project. For walkways, you may need to add 10-20% of extra material to account for settling. This will depend on the material used.
