Bags vs. Bulk: The Real Cost
Buying bags from a big box store looks cheaper at first glance. Here is what the real comparison looks like once you factor in everything.

How it works
Formula: (Total sq ft x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards
1 cubic yard covers 324 sq ft at 1 inch deep. A 2 cu ft bag covers roughly 24 sq ft at 1 inch.
We round up your order to the nearest 0.5 yd³ so you do not run short mid-project.
