About YardSizeCalculator
Free landscape material calculators built for homeowners and contractors across the United States
Our Mission
YardSizeCalculator provides free, accurate landscape material calculators for homeowners, gardeners, and contractors across the United States. Our tools help you calculate the exact amount of gravel, mulch, topsoil, sand, concrete, sod, grass seed and fertilizer needed for any outdoor project — eliminating guesswork and preventing costly over-ordering or under-ordering.
We believe every homeowner deserves access to professional-grade estimation tools without paying for expensive software subscriptions or consulting contractors for simple material calculations.

Founder & Landscape Consultant
After years of watching homeowners over-order or under-order landscape materials due to inaccurate manual estimates, Alex built YardSizeCalculator to solve the problem permanently — giving everyone access to the same calculation tools professionals use, completely free.
Why We Built These Calculators
The landscaping and construction industry lacks simple, free tools for material estimation. Most homeowners rely on rough guesses, expensive contractor quotes, or complicated spreadsheets to figure out how much gravel, mulch or concrete they need.
Our calculators use the same formulas professional contractors use — based on verified material densities and industry-standard depth recommendations. We make them available to everyone, completely free, with no signup required.

Accuracy and Pricing
All calculations use verified industry-standard formulas. Cost estimates are based on 2026 average US bulk material prices from landscape suppliers nationwide. Material prices vary by location, supplier and season — we always recommend confirming current pricing with your local supplier before placing any order.
