The easiest way to calculate the amount of topsoil you'll need is to multiply the totals together to get the cubed feet.
If you notice you have two units of feet and one of inches. Since 16 inches is over one foot but less than two feet you'll still have to purchase an additional bag of topsoil to cover the extra 4 inches. So let's just round the 16 inches up to 24 inches or 2 feet.
24 ft x 8 ft x 2 ft = 384ft³.
if that is 3 ft deep it would require 96 yards... IF it is 3 inches deep it would require 24 cubic yards
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.
40 pounds of topsoil is about 2 cubic feet, which will cover an area of 12 square feet at 2 inches deep.600 square feet divided by 12 square feet per bag is 50 bags.Answer50 bags
one ton equals one cubic meter of soil was 100mm deep it would cover 7sqm
.21 yards of sand will fill an area 115 inches by 67 inches to a depth of 2.5 inches.
The topsoil in a typical soil profile is usually around 2 to 8 inches deep.
You would need 31.88 cubic yards of topsoil to cover 855 sq feet at 6 inches deep.
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.
100' x 1"= 100 sq ft. x 4" deep= 33.3 CUBIC feet. That is about 1.24 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.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! To find the volume of topsoil used, we first need to convert the depth from inches to yards. Since 1 yard is equal to 36 inches, 3 inches is 3/36 = 1/12 yards. Then, we multiply the area of the garden by the depth of the topsoil to find the volume. So, 24 yards (area) multiplied by 1/12 yards (depth) equals 2 cubic yards of topsoil used. Happy gardening!
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.
The depth of dirt can vary greatly depending on location and other factors. In general, topsoil can range from a few inches to several feet deep before reaching the subsoil or bedrock below. Factors such as climate, vegetation, and geological history can influence the depth of dirt in a particular area.
The volume of an area 24 feet round and 45 inches deep is: 1,700 cubic feet.
Three tons of topsoil will cover approximately 180 square feet when spread to a depth of 6 inches.
