You are mixing volume (square yard) and area (length x width). How deep do you want the dirt? One foot deep you need about 80 square yards of dirt.

How much dirt in a square yard?
You can measure the surface of the dirt in square yards. That would be nine square feet.However the volume or amount of dirt cannot be measured in square yards or square feet. The amount of dirt in a volume of one cubic yard would be 27 cubic feet. ( 3x3x3=27 )The amount of dirt in a square yard to a depth of 0.5 feet would be 4.5 cubic feet. (3x3x0.5=4.5)
How big of an area will 1 ton of dirt cover 3 inches thick?
Roughly 12 square yards.
How do you calculate the amount of stone that is needed to cover 7000 sq ft of dirt with 4 inches of stone as measured in yards... I would guess they mean cubic yards?
Well, you would take the 7000 square feet of dirt and multiply it by the four inches of stone to get the 28000 cubic yards of stone. (28000 yds³)
How many yards of dirt do you need to fill 289 square feet?
You also need to specify the average depth.(And by "yards" we assume you mean cubic yards).
How do you calculate the sq yards of a pile of dirt?
you get a ruler measure which part you wanna measure ,for example 15 then square it then times by 7.5 yards
How many cubic yards of dirt is a football field?
None. Just build the baseball field where the dirt is already there.

Roughly 12 square yards.
How many cubic yards of dirt will it take to fill an area 12 inches wide by 25 feet long by 4 inches high?
Sorry the first answer was in square yds. Cubic yards would be 0.308639
How many bags of dirt are needed to fill a hole 27 ft long 4 ft wide and 6 inches deep?
This question cannot be answered. An area is "square", a volume is "cubic". The question asks about the volume of an area... and is meaningless. A square yard contains 9 square feet An area 30 feet by 50 feet contains 1,500 square feet or 166.67 square yards
If you figured an area is 600 cubic yards how many yards of dirt do you need to fill that area?
It will take 800 cubic yards 1/3 compaction.
How many yards of fill dirt in area 25x40x4 inches thick?
You find the square footage of the total area....40 X 60=2400 square feet. Then convert that to cubic yards by dividing by 27....(27 cubic feet per cubic yard) 2400 divided by 27= 85.1 cu. yards To raise the area by one foot, this would be the end of the calculation. If you were to only want to raise an area by 4 inches lets say....then you would multiply 85.1 by .33 or one third of a foot. (for 6 inches you would multiply by .50 or 1/2 foot) NOW, you have to take into account compaction or loss. When figuring concrete, allow up to 10%. When figuring dirt (depending on how sandy etc.) rule of thumb is to allow UP TO 1/3 for compaction. In your question above, allow for 1/3 and you would need another 28 yards (cu. yards). This would figure as 85.1 X.33 and would equal roughly another 28 yards. So, the total needed would be 85 cu. yds (85 rounded) PLUS 28 .....or a total of 113 cu. yards.

How much dirt is 60 yards of dirt?
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.
