When referring to garden or building materials such as top soil, ready-mix concrete, etc., the term yard is usually used as an abbreviation of cubic yard. In actuality, yard is a length or distance equal to three feet or 36 inches, and a cubic yard is a volume equivalent to a cube one yard long, one yard wide, and one yard deep.
