# About This Calculator

In construction and landscaping, Cubic Volume is often measured in both yards and feet. Mulch, soil, and gravel are typically sold by the "yard," while project dimensions are usually measured in "feet."

The conversion factor is exactly 27 because a cubic yard is a cube that is 3 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet deep ($3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27$).

How To Use

  1. Toggle the direction of conversion (**Yards to Feet** or **Feet to Yards**).
  2. Enter the numerical value you wish to convert.
  3. The converted amount and the math behind it will be displayed immediately.
