Estimate topsoil for beds, lawns and containers
Use this topsoil calculator for raised beds, lawn leveling, garden soil, containers or a known bulk volume. Enter length, width and depth or total volume, then estimate cubic yards, cubic feet, bags, tons and cost.
Soil quality and settling notes
- Bulk topsoil, garden soil, compost blends and potting mix are not interchangeable; choose the material for the planting use.
- Soil can settle after watering, so raised beds and lawn fill often need a small allowance.
- Weight depends heavily on moisture and organic content; supplier density is better than a generic estimate.
