A typical shovel holds about 1/2 cubic feet of soil. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard (commonly called a "yard"). Therefore, about 54 shovelfuls in a cubic yard.

Note that the volume of a shovel will vary depending on its size and the stuff being shoveled. You can determine the volume of your shovel by experimenting with a 5-gallon pail (equal to about 5/8 of a cubic foot).
