Estimate your mulch, soil, or sod requirements with professional accuracy. Fast, reliable, and tailored to Houston landscapes.
Pro-accuracy prevents over-ordering and multiple delivery fees.
Don't break your back. Let Evergreen handle the sourcing, delivery, and professional installation of your bulk materials or sod.
BOOK DELIVERY & INSTALLDisclaimer: Estimates are for planning purposes. Bulk material volume can vary due to moisture and compaction. Rounding to 0.5 yard increments is recommended for commercial ordering.
Enter length × width. For odd shapes, break the area into rectangles and add them up. This ensures you don't buy unnecessary waste.
Select your material—mulch, soil, or sod. Then select your desired depth (or waste %) to get accurate volume.
Click "Calculate" to see your estimated total. This ensures a smoother project with no last-minute supply runs.
Don't break your back hauling bulk. From single-pallet delivery to full-scale site preparation, Evergreen provides the logistics and the heavy equipment to finish the job right.
Most clients calculate their material and realize the sheer volume is too much for a DIY weekend. We provide same-day or next-day delivery and can even provide the crews to install it for you.
Establishing exactly how much material your project requires is the difference between a high-value property and a wasted budget. By using this calculator, you've already avoided the #1 mistake most property owners make: buying for guesswork instead of data.
However, the hardest part of any Houston project isn't the math—it's the logistics. Moving 20 cubic yards of mulch or multiple pallets of fresh sod is a massive physical challenge. At Evergreen, we bridge that gap by deploying our heavy-duty fleet to handle the hauling, grading, and technical site preparation for you.
Calculating your material needs is the first step toward a high-value property. But moving 10 yards of mulch or 5 pallets of sod isn't a DIY weekend—it's a logistical challenge that requires specialized equipment and professional timing.
Most landscape beds do best with about 2–3 inches of mulch. This depth is optimal for suppressing weeds and retaining moisture without suffocating plant roots. If your beds are looking thin, a fresh layer can make a huge difference in landscape health.
Rule of thumb: 1 cubic yard covers approx. 162 sq ft at a 2-inch depth.
The manual formula is (Length × Width × Depth in feet) ÷ 27. However, our calculator above does the math for you immediately.
Simply measure your area in feet, decide on the inches of depth, and we’ll tell you exactly how many yards to order so you don't end up short on materials.
Standard local delivery starts at $95 for bulk materials like mulch, topsoil, and sand. Final pricing depends on the material type, total load size, and distance.
For heavier items like pallets of stone or sod delivery, costs may vary. We always provide a clear, confirmed quote before scheduling.
No, you don’t need to be home. As long as the drop-off area is accessible and clearly communicated (e.g., "dump on the left side of the driveway"), our driver can handle it.
We’ll send a confirmation once the delivery is complete. If access is blocked or unclear, we will contact you before proceeding.
Light rain usually isn't an issue. However, if heavy storms are forecasted, we may reschedule to prevent rutting up your yard or ruining materials (especially topsoil or organic compost).
In some cases, we may offer to deliver a day early to stay ahead of the weather. We prioritize protecting your property and ensuring a clean delivery.
