Best Answer

The answer will depend on how thick you want the coverage to be. If you want:

1. Two Inches = 18 square yards

2. Three Inches = 12 Square yards

3. Four Inches = 9 square yards

See the pattern here? If the dirt was a Cube of 3ft x 3ft x 3ft, then you divide 36" by the thickness of coverage in inches. The answer is the number of Square Yards of coverage.

How much yds of sand is needed to cover 4500square ft by 1 inch?

Assuming you mean the colloquial (builder's) yard for cubic yard: 36 in = 1 yd 3 ft = 1 yd ⇒ 3 ft x 3 ft = 1 yd x 1 yd ⇒ 9 sq ft = 1 sq yd ⇒ 4500 sq ft x 1 in = (4500 ÷ 9) sq yd x (1 ÷ 36) yd = 138/9 cu yd ≈ 13.89 cu yd

How much does 8 yards of dirt cover?

Depends on how deep you want the soil to be... 4" is a pretty good soil depth (in my opinion)... So, converting from cubic yards to cubic feet... 8 cu.yds x 27 ft/cu. yd = 256 cu. ft We'll spread the dirt 4" (0.33') 256 cu.ft/ 0.33 ft = 775.75 sq. ft ============================================================ Hope this helps!!

How many yards is 15 cu feet?

Mathematically, a yard is a measure of length, has only one dimension and thus has no volume which has three dimensions; so no matter how many of them you have you will never get a volume of 15 cu ft.If you are using "yard" in the slang, builders' way to represent cubic yards, then:1 yd = 3 ft1 cu yd = 1 yd x 1 yd x 1 yd= 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft= 27 cu ft⇒ 15 cu ft = 15 ÷ 27 cu yd= 5/9 cu yd≈ 0.56 cu yd
