Best Answer

When a person speaks of a 'yard' of dirt, sand, cement or similar material, they actually mean a 'cubic yard'. A yard is a measurement of length. A cubic yard is a measurement of volume.

60 (cubic) yards of dirt is the equivalent of 1,620 cubic feet of dirt.

One cubic yard is measured as an amount that is 3 feet wide x 3 feet long x 3 feet high, or 27 cubic feet.

60 cubic yards equals 27 cubic feet x 60, which equals 1,620 cubic feet.

If you spread 60 cubic yards of dirt one foot thick you'd have an area of 1,620 square feet.

If you spread this dirt 6 inches thick you'd have an area of 3,240 square feet.
