How do I calculate how much topsoil I need?
Length in feet x Width in feet x Depth in feet (inches divided by 12). Take the total and divide by 27 (the amount of cubic feet in a yard). The final figure will be the estimated amount of cubic yards required.
What area will a ton of top soil cover?

How much topsoil Do I need depth?
