About Us
Hi—welcome to Cubic Yards to Tons Converter. We built this tool to make bulk-material planning easier for homeowners, landscapers, and contractors. Estimating loads from volume alone is tricky because density changes with material type, moisture, and compaction. Our calculator gives you a fast, realistic starting point—switch units, pick a preset, or enter a custom density from your supplier.
What the calculator does
- Converts yd³/ft³/m³ to US tons, metric tons, pounds, or kilograms.
- Includes sensible presets (e.g., topsoil, mulch, sand dry/wet, gravel, crushed limestone, asphalt, concrete) and an “Other” option.
- Lets you input density in t/yd³, lb/ft³, or kg/m³.
- “Decimals” control for display precision; “Share result” to copy an instant summary.
- Helpful FAQs and usage tips for common scenarios.
Our principles
- Accuracy first. Use supplier-provided densities when ordering.
- Clarity & speed. Clean UI that works great on phones.
- Privacy by default. No accounts required to calculate.
- Accessibility. Keyboard-friendly inputs and readable typography.
Where this is going
- Coverage mode (enter area + depth ⇒ yd³ and tons).
- More presets (regional aggregates, recycled materials) and better notes.
- Supplier density import and quick comparisons.
- Printable/load-ticket summaries and CSV/PDF export.
- Dark mode and even tighter mobile ergonomics.
