A cubic yard of dirt is a volume measurement that refers to a cube with each side measuring one yard (three feet). It is commonly used in construction and landscaping to quantify the amount of soil needed for various projects. One cubic yard of dirt weighs approximately 1,500 to 2,000 pounds, depending on its moisture content and composition. This measurement is crucial for estimating costs and determining how much space will be filled or covered.
