(43,560) x (depth of the topsoil in feet) cubic feet
The weight of a yard (a cubic yard, more accurately) of topsoil varies greatly depending upon its moisture content and how well packed it is. But figure 2000 to 2400 pounds.
volume = 23 x 34 x 1/12 = 65.17 cubic feet which is 65.17/27 = 2.41 yards or 6516 pounds at 100 pounds per cubic foot

A cubic yard of topsoil can weigh anywhere from 2,000 to 3,000 pounds, depending on its moisture content and individual characteristics.
On average, 1 cubic yard of topsoil weighs about 2,000 to 2,700 pounds (900 to 1,225 kg), depending on its moisture content.
For a 60cm depth of topsoil, you would need 0.6 cubic meters (or approximately 0.78 cubic yards) of topsoil. This calculation is based on the formula: Volume = Area × Depth.
Topsoil is NEVER sold by the "truck-load". Usually in yards or tons, as there are several differant sizes of trucks... A "yard" of dry topsoil should weigh a little less than 1 ton.
For an area that is 20ft by 20ft and you want to add 6 inches of topsoil, you will need 20 cubic yards of topsoil. Topsoil is typically ordered by the cubic yard, so this measurement will ensure that you have enough to cover the entire area with a 6-inch layer.
That depends on the depth of the topsoil you will put down. Multiply the number of square feet by the depth of topsoil--that will give you the number of cubic feet. To convert to cubic yards, divide the number by 27. So, for example, if you are using 3" of topsoil over 880 square feet then your calculation would be: 880 times .25 (3" = .25 feet) = 220 cubic feet (divided by 27--there are 27 cubic feet in a yard) equals 8.15 cubic yards.
In the US, dirt is measured in cubic yards. The average full sized pick up truck can usually hold about 2 to 3 cubic yards of dirt or topsoil. It varies a bit depending on the size of the pick-up and how strong its springs are. If you are having it filled for the first time, take it slow and watch how much the truck drops as it is being loaded.
To convert cubic yards to cubic feet, multiply by 27 (3 cubic yards * 27 = 81 cubic feet). Then, calculate the weight by multiplying the volume by the density (81 cubic feet * 125 pounds/cubic foot = 10,125 pounds). Finally, convert the weight to tons by dividing by 2,000 (10,125 pounds / 2,000 = 5.06 tons).
Topsoil typically weighs around 1,000 to 1,300 pounds per cubic yard, depending on factors like moisture content and compaction.
A typical scoop of topsoil can vary in volume, but it is usually around 0.5 to 1 cubic yard, depending on the size of the scoop. This amount of topsoil can weigh around 1,000 to 2,000 pounds, depending on its moisture content and composition.
