Enter length and width to calculate square feet and square yards. Use this for flooring, landscaping, fabric, turf, and other area measurements.
Quick answer: Length in feet × width in feet ÷ 9 = square yards, because 1 square yard equals 9 square feet.
Ballpark, not gospel. Square yards measure flat area — for soil, mulch, gravel, or concrete you need cubic yards, which also require depth.
| Square feet | Square yards |
|---|---|
| 9 | 1 |
| 100 | 11.11 |
| 500 | 55.56 |
| 900 | 100 |
| 1,000 | 111.11 |
Straight answers, no fluff. Then run your own numbers above.
Multiply the length by the width in feet, then divide the square feet by 9.
There are 9 square feet in 1 square yard because a yard is 3 feet long and 3 feet wide.
No. A square yard measures area. A cubic yard measures volume and also requires depth.
Need volume instead? The cubic yard calculator adds depth, and how many feet are in a yard clears up yards vs. cubic yards.
