How Much Topsoil Do I Need?
Multiply the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, then divide by 324. The answer is cubic yards of topsoil or compost.
| Depth | One cubic yard covers |
|---|---|
| 2" | About 162 sq. ft. |
| 4" | About 81 sq. ft. |
| 6" | About 54 sq. ft. |
A new lawn usually needs 4" to 6" of topsoil. A 4 ft. by 8 ft. raised bed filled 12" deep takes about 1.2 cubic yards.
Bags or Bulk Topsoil?
One cubic yard equals about 36 bags of 0.75 cubic feet. For anything bigger than a few planters, bulk topsoil costs less per yard and saves the trips and the plastic.
How Much Does a Yard of Topsoil Weigh?
A cubic yard of dry topsoil weighs about 2,000 lbs. Soaked with rain, the same yard can weigh 2,600 to 3,000 lbs. That's why we cover our topsoil every night, so the soil you pay for stays dry and spreads easier.
