A "yard" is actually a cubic yard and contains 27 cubic feet (3X3X3=27). To find the volume of your area, multiply length times width, times height (or depth). 250X80X8=160,000 cubic feet. Divide that by 27 and you get approximately 5925.9 cubic yards. If you want to know the weight of your fill, you will need to determine the specific composition of your dirt and then calculate the weight of a cubic foot or yard of it.
