What is cubic yards?

A cubic yard (CY) is a unit of measurement that represents the volume of a cube with a side length of one yard. In other words, if you have a box or container with sides of 3 feet (or 1 yard), and you fill it completely with material, the volume of the material inside would be considered 1 cubic yard.

To break it down further:

• 1 yard = 3 feet
• The volume of a cube is calculated by multiplying the length of each side: 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet = 27 cubic feet (or CY)
• Since there are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard, you can also think of it as:
  • 1 cubic yard ≈ 2.33 tons (for bulk materials like sand, gravel, or soil)
  • 1 cubic yard ≈ 50-60 bushels (of smaller items like corn or hay)

Cubic yards are commonly used in construction, landscaping, and industrial applications to measure the volume of materials like:

• Soil and aggregate
• Sand and gravel
• Wood chips or mulch
• Rocks and boulders

It's worth noting that cubic yards can be converted to other units of measurement, such as cubic feet (1 CY = 27 CF), pounds, tons, or even gallons in certain contexts.
