A cubic yard is a unit of volume equal to 27 cubic feet (3 ft × 3 ft × 3 ft). It is the standard ordering unit for bulk materials in the US: concrete, mulch, topsoil, gravel, and sand are all typically sold by the cubic yard.

Pro Tip
Always add 10% extra to account for waste, spillage, and uneven ground. It's cheaper to have a little leftover than to stop a project waiting for more material.

Did You Know?
A standard concrete truck holds 8–10 cubic yards — enough for a 20×24 foot driveway at 4 inches thick. Ordering too little forces a second delivery; ordering too much wastes money (concrete is rarely returned).
