Hi,

I have to cover a 5,300 square feet area with topsoil 2" deep. How many yards would I need?

Thanks!!

Nick

Hi Nick,

You can use our volume calculator. The shape of the surface isn't important, you only need to know that the area is 5,300 square feet so in the calculator put a length of 100 feet a width of 53 feet and a depth of 2 inches.
