Enter the area and the desired thickness of topsoil or mulch and click on "Calculate." |
Area Calculations: Draw your site as accurately as possible to scale.
Use the following formulas to determine area: Rectangle: Area = length x width Circle: Area = 3.1416 x the square of the radius Triangle: Area = 1/2 x length of base x length of height Hint: If you are measuring odd or complex shapes, divide the area into combinations of rectangles, triangles, and/or circles. Measure these smaller areas and total the areas for them. Hint: To determine topsoil requirements for areas of varying grade you may have to estimate an average fill depth. |
