How many 40-pound bags of topsoil do you need to cover 177 square feet?
That dependsThat depends upon how deep you wish to cover the area. It also depends upon the moisture content of the soil in the bags. Bagged soil is usually pretty wet, so you're paying for water, to a certain extent. Moist topsoil weighs about 90 pounds per cubic foot, so a 40-pound bag is less than half a cubic foot -- 0.44 cubic foot, to be more exact.So, you're going to need about 34 bags -- FOR EVERY INCH OF DEPTH !! -- to cover the area. If the dirt isn't too wet, you might get away with 30 bags per inch of depth.**Actually a 40lbs bag is closer to .75cf. **
