How accurate is this soil calculator?
Our calculator provides professional-grade estimates based on standard landscaping formulas. For irregularly shaped areas, we recommend breaking them into rectangles and calculating each section separately.
Should I order extra soil?
We recommend adding 5-10% to your total calculation to account for settling, uneven terrain, and spillage during delivery. Most professionals order 10-15% extra for large projects.
What’s the difference between topsoil and garden soil?
Topsoil is the upper layer of native soil, while garden soil is enriched with compost and organic matter. For new lawns, topsoil is generally sufficient, but for planting beds, garden soil provides better nutrition.
How deep should soil be for a new lawn?
For new lawns, we recommend 4-6 inches of quality topsoil. This depth allows grass roots to establish properly and provides adequate nutrients for healthy growth.
