How many square feet is in a yard of soil?
The language used in this question indicates some confusion, so we must clarify some points first.First, although a yard is a unit of length, when you go to a commercial garden center, a "yard" of soil is really a cubic yard. In other words, it's a volume; it has length, width, and height (or depth). But people in the business just call it a yard.Second, a square foot is a unit of area, not volume, so you cannot convert from cubic yards to square feet. However, a cubic yard of soil will cover a certain area of ground, but you have to know how deep you want the soil to be.If you're covering the ground to do a reseeding of lawn, it doesn't have to be too deep, so a (cubic) yard will cover a good amount of ground, but if you're filling in some flower beds or vegetable garden, it won't cover as much area.A cubic yard of soil will cover approximately an 18' x 18' square (324 square feet) to a depth of one inch.
How do you calculate how much dirt you need to fill a hole?
CONVERSION CHART1 Cubic yard 1 inch deep will cover 324 Square feet1 Cubic yard 2 inch deep will cover 162 Square feet1 Cubic yard 3 inch deep will cover 108 Square feet1 Cubic yard 4 inch deep will cover 81 Square feet1 Cubic yard 5 inch deep will cover 64 Square feet1 Cubic yard 6 inch deep will cover 54 Square feet(Length in Feet)( Width in Feet)*(Depth in Feet)=cubic feetExample: Say you have an area that is 12' x 18 '. You want to cover it with 6" of material.Multiply, 12' x 18' x *.5' to get 108 cubic feet. You see, 6" is .5 feet or 1/2 a foot.Now, devide 108 cubic feet by 27 cubic feet(1 yard) to get your total yardage at 4 yards.If you want a 3" cover you use 1/4' or .25'. A four inch cover is 1/3 foot or .33', etc.OR ---- Multiply your square footage by .003 for 1" coverage.0061 for a 2" coverage .0092 for a 3" coverage and.0123 for a 4" coverage. It takes 12.3 cubic yards of top soil to cover 1,000 square feet at 4". Hope this helps. ----

How much area would a billion grains of sand fill?
If fine sand has roughly 100,000 grains per cubic inch, then I make that 5.8 cubic feet (or about 43 liquid gallons). In terms of AREA, that would depend on how thick you spread out that sand. In very rough terms, I would say it would take up about 9 normal buckets. (average bucket size is about 5 gallons) (1 cubic foot = (12x12x12) cubic inches = 1728 cubic inches) Therefore, 1 cubic foot contains 1728 x 100000 fine grains = 172800000 1000000000 / 172800000 = 0.1728 1 / 0.1728 = 5.787

How much soil do i need to cover 9300 square feet with 12 inches of soil?
To calculate the amount of soil needed, you multiply the area by the desired depth. In this case, you have 9300 square feet and want a depth of 12 inches. Convert the depth to feet (12 inches = 1 foot) and multiply: 9300 square feet x 1 foot = 9300 cubic feet of soil. So, you need 9300 cubic feet of soil to cover the area with a depth of 12 inches.
