How this is calculated
- Volume in cubic feet = area × (depth in inches ÷ 12).
- Cubic yards = cubic feet ÷ 27.
- One cubic yard covers 324 sq ft one inch deep.
Before you order
- Screened topsoil and fill dirt are not the same product. Fill is cheaper and is for bulk grading; screened soil is what plants grow in.
- Wet soil weighs much more than a ton a yard, which matters for delivery limits and for what your driveway will take.
- Soil settles. Order about 10% over if you need a finished grade to hold.
