Topsoil Calculator
Enter your dimensions and we’ll work out how many packs you need.
Remember soil will settle and compact after installation. We recommend adding a minimum of 10% extra to allow for settling and compaction and up to 25% for deep raised beds and containers.

Tip: choose 10% for borders/turf, 25% for raised beds.

Using Our Calculator

Simply measure your beds or the area you want to cover / fill with topsoil in either meters and cm's or feet and inches and fill in our topsoil calculator form below and hit "Calculate"

Our calculator will then work out how many bulk bags or jumbo bags you require to complete your project.  

QGS Bag Sizes

We sell our topsoil in Bulk Bags (approx 750 Litres) and our massive Jumbo Bags (approx 1200 Litres).

Our Jumbo Bags are bigger in volume than anyone elses! Because our soil is all barn stored and blended and so is generally a lot drier and therefore lighter than other suppliers (your not paying for water!).  

We have calibrated the results of our topsoil calculator to reflect the size of the bags we offer.
