Three tons of topsoil will cover approximately 180 square feet when spread to a depth of 6 inches.
You would need 3,355 cubic yards of soil to cover 6 acres at 24 inches deep.
To find the volume of topsoil used in cubic yards, first convert the depth from inches to yards. Since 1 yard is equal to 36 inches, 3 inches is 3/36 = 1/12 yards. Then, multiply the area of the garden (24 square yards) by the depth (1/12 yards) to find the volume. So, the volume of topsoil used is 24 * 1/12 = 2 cubic yards.
The depth of topsoil in North Carolina can vary depending on location, but on average it ranges from 6 inches to 12 inches. Factors that can influence topsoil depth include the type of soil, climate, vegetation, and land use practices. It is important to consider soil conservation and management practices to maintain soil health.
The A horizon is typically the thickest layer of topsoil, ranging from a few inches to several feet deep. This layer is rich in organic matter and nutrients, making it ideal for plant growth and cultivation.
if that is 3 ft deep it would require 96 yards... IF it is 3 inches deep it would require 24 cubic yards
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.
That depends upon how deep the soil bed is and how much moisture is in the topsoil. But here are some ballpark numbers for you: A yard of soil will cover a 10' by 10' area to a depth of three inches. In other words, figure a third of a yard per 100 square feet for every inch of depth. Length x width x # of inches deep divided by 324 = the number of cubic yards needed for that task.
Three tons of topsoil will cover approximately 180 square feet when spread to a depth of 6 inches.
You would need approximately 2.5 cubic yards of gravel to cover a 12' by 15' area at a depth of 2 inches.

1 cubic yard will cover 15 square yards at 3 inches deep.
You would need 3,355 cubic yards of soil to cover 6 acres at 24 inches deep.
Usually a cubic yard will cover 15 square yards at 3 inches deep so I would reckon on 22 cubic yards. Hold on that I've got that wrong it's 2 cubic yards .Sorry.
