Common Calculations
Volume = Length x Width x Height
27 Cubic Feet = 1 Cubic Yard
9 – 3 Cubic Feet Bags of Mulch = 1 Cubic Yard
1 Pallet Hardwood Mulch = 5 Cubic Yards
1 Cubic Yard = 3” Layer over 108 Square Feet
Area = Length x Width
1 Square Foot = 144 Square Inches
1 Square Yard = 9 Square Feet
1 Acre = 43,560 Feet
1/2 Acre = 21,780 Feet
1/4 Acre = 10,890 Feet
1 Acre = 4,840 Square Yards
1 Fieldstone Pallet = 1’ Wall, approximately 25’ long
1 Ton = 2000 Pounds
Seeding New Lawns
50 lb Seed Covers Approx. 5,000 Square Feet
Over-seeding Existing Lawns
50 lb Seed Covers Approx. 10,000 Square Feet
Sod
Minimum order is 2 pallets = 1,200 Square Feet
1 Roll of Sod = 18” x 80” = 10 sq. ft.
1 Pallet of Sod = 60 Rolls = 600 sq. ft.
To Figure out Sod Needed:
Length x Width = Area
Area / 10 = # of Rolls of Sod Needed
