Numbers you can check
Supplier yards sell by the cubic yard, the ton, the bag and the cord, and a wrong guess means a second delivery fee or a pile left over. Every calculator here rounds up to what you can actually buy. It shows the arithmetic and links each density, bag yield and recommended depth to the government agency, manufacturer or university extension service it came from.
