Easily calculate how much sand you need for any project with our free Sand Coverage Calculator. Fast, accurate, and perfect for home or construction use.
Ever started a project thinking you had enough sand, only to run out halfway through and make that awkward second trip to the hardware store? Yeah, we’ve been there too. That’s why we built the Sand Coverage Calculator to take the guesswork out of the equation. Whether you're mixing concrete, prepping a patio, or just trying to figure out how many bags of sand your backyard project needs, this tool is your new best friend.
It’s quick, accurate, and dead-simple to use. No more scratching your head with a tape measure in one hand and a calculator in the other.
Here's how it works. Enter your length and width in feet (that’s the area you’re covering), and plug in the depth either in inches or feet, depending on how thick your sand layer needs to be. Boom. That’s it. The calculator does the rest.
You’ll get the amount of sand you need in:
So whether you're doing a small job or a full-blown backyard makeover, this calculator has you covered.
If you’re the kind of person who likes to know how things work (we salute you), here’s the magic math behind it:
Sand Volume (in CFT) = Length (ft) × Width (ft) × Depth (ft)
And if you're entering depth in inches (because that's how our brains work most days), we convert that like this:
Depth (ft) = Depth (inches) ÷ 12
Once we’ve got the volume, we use a few more formulas to convert it into whatever unit you prefer:
No math headaches here we handle all that in the background so you don’t have to.
Let’s say you’re working on a 10 by 10-foot patio, and you want to add a 2-inch layer of sand:
Handy, right? This beats estimating with a shovel and hoping for the best.
We get this question a lot, so here’s a general idea based on common units:
Of course, these are estimates. Our calculator gives you precise numbers tailored to your project.
This isn't just a one-trick pony. Our sand calculator works for a wide range of projects:
No matter what kind of sand job you're tackling, we’ve got your back.
Let’s be honest: figuring out how much sand you need shouldn’t feel like solving a high school math problem. With our Sand Coverage Calculator, you don’t need to guess, eyeball, or overbuy “just in case.”
It's designed to save you time, money, and a lot of measuring mishaps. So whether you're a weekend warrior working on a home improvement project or a pro contractor estimating material costs, this tool gives you the clarity you need.
Give it a whirl. Once you try it, you'll wonder how you ever did without it.
Measure your area’s length and width in feet. Decide how deep you want the sand layer (in inches or feet), then pop those numbers into our calculator. Done.
Roughly 0.5 to 0.7 square feet at 2 inches depth. It varies depending on how compacted the sand gets.
Around 1600–1700 kg, depending on moisture and granule size.
It’ll cover about 100 square feet at a depth of 2 inches.
Standard trucks usually carry 450 to 500 cubic feet of sand.
Absolutely. It’s perfect for estimating sand for mixing with cement and gravel.
