The Soil Calculator is an essential digital tool designed to help landscaping professionals and contractors accurately determine soil quantities for their projects. This comprehensive calculator enables users to compute both soil volume and weight based on specific area shapes and dimensions, making it invaluable for project planning and cost estimation. Whether working with small garden beds or large-scale landscaping projects, users can easily switch between imperial and metric units to suit their regional requirements. The calculator factors in soil bulk density to provide precise weight calculations, helping businesses order the exact amount of material needed and avoid costly overages or shortages. For landscaping companies, garden centers, and construction firms looking to optimize their material planning, our Soil Calculator offers a straightforward solution to streamline your estimation process.
Need soil fast? Enter area, depth and (optional) bulk density—the calculator outputs volume and weight instantly. Typical garden soil weighs about 1.3 g/cm³, roughly 81 lb/ft³ (USDA NRCS, 2014). Use rectangle, circle or triangle shapes; results adjust for imperial or metric units. Add 10-20 % extra for settling, then order bags or truckloads with confidence.
