Yes! L x W x D will give it to you. If your measurements are in feet, divide by 27 to get the volume in cubic yards. Add a bit for spillage.

Guest,

I agree. This is a measure of volume. In the USA it is converted to cubic yards because that is the measurement the ready-mix concrete companies use. One cubic yard is 3ft by 3ft by 3ft, so if you have a measurement in cubic feet, divide it by 27 to get cubic yards. In the rest of the world it is usually in cubic meters, which are about 30% bigger.
