Common questions

How many square feet make one square yard?

One yard is three feet, so one square yard is nine square feet. An area conversion squares the length conversion factor. Select matching area units for the quantity and its price.

Does the price include waste and labor?

It multiplies the geometric area by your entered rate. Waste, seams, cutting layouts, whole packages, labor, delivery and taxes are included only if you add them to the area or rate yourself.
