How do I figure how much material I need... ?

It is best to specify feet when measuring width and length and use inches for depth (height) to calculate cubic yards.

Instructions: Multiply the length x width X depth and divide by 27.  Note:  You will need to convert the inches (depth into feet or vice versa). 

1 INCH =  .08333

2 INCH =  .1667  

3 INCH =  .25  

4 INCH =  .3333

EXAMPLE: You measure your lawn for topsoil and the area is 72 ft by 27 ft and you want the soil 2 inches deep.

72 x 27 x  = 1944 

1944 x .1667 = 324.06

324.06  / 27 = 12 CY

You would need 12 CY.
