This tool calculates the amount of topsoil you need for your yard.
Topsoil Calculator
This topsoil calculator helps you determine how many cubic yards of topsoil you need for your project.
How to Use:
- Enter the length of the area in yards.
- Enter the width of the area in yards.
- Enter the depth of topsoil needed in inches.

How It Calculates:
This calculator takes the length and width of your area in yards, and the depth required in inches. It then converts the depth from inches to yards by dividing by 36 (since there are 36 inches in a yard). Once all dimensions are in yards, it multiplies these values to calculate the volume of topsoil needed in cubic yards.
Limitations:
- Ensure all input values are numbers. Non-numeric values will cause an error.
- This calculator assumes all sides of the area are straight and the depth is uniform.
