There are 1,613.33 CY per acre.

- (1) acre is 43,560 SF

- (1) cubic yard is equal to 3 X 3 X 3 or 27

- 43,560 / 27 = 1,613.33 CY per acre

Hmmm. Not going to work. Acres are flat two-dimensional measurements, and cubic yards are three-dimensional. This is like asking "How many pencils can you fit into a single piece of paper?" It does not make sense.

On the other hand, if you are asking about crop yields, such as "How many cubic yards of wheat can you get from one acre," you might have an answerable question. If so, rephrase and resubmit. ■

Cubic yards per acre?

An acre is a two dimensional measurement for land area, whereas a cubic yard is a three dimensional unit. There are 4840 square yards per acre, so in an acre plot with 1 yard depth, there would be 4840 cubic yards.


How many cubic yards of dirt in 1 acre of land?

This is the worth math I've ever seen! 1 acre = 43,560 SF, take the square root of 43,560 to give you the base numbers of the acre = 208.71 feet for both the height and width of an acre to get square feet of an acre. Divide 208.71 / 3 = 69.57 yards for the height and width of the acre. Multiply 69.57 x 69.57 = 4,840 square yards in an acre. A cubic yard is simply 4,840 square yards dug down 3 feet or one yard. So one acre has 4,840 cubic yards of dirt if you only dig down 3 feet. If you dig down 6 feet that doubles and so on. One acre would have 48,400 cubic yards of dirt if you dug down 30 feet or 10 yards. Using a one cubic yard example if you removed one cubic yard of dirt from an acre you would have 4,480 cubic yards of dirt, and one cubic yard of dirt weighs approximately 1.3 tons so once cubic acre weighs 1.3 x 4,840 acres = 6,292 tons.


How many cubic yards are in an acre 1 inch thick?

How many cubic yards in an acre 20 yards deep?

You already have a square yard of topsoil, so how does 20 inches of depth get you the volume of topsoil? There are 36 inches in a yard, and you have 20 inches of topsoil depth that's 20/36ths of a yard of topsoil depth. That's 0.555... or about 0.56 yards. The volume of topsoil is 1 yard by 1 yard by 0.56 yards, or about 0.56 cubic yards of topsoil.


To figure out how many yards there are in 1 acre of topsoil 6 in deep Does anyone know the correct formula to answer this?
