the way we measure dirt quantities is we do a topo with TOPCOM equipment. But, if that is not available you can always measure to get an area and then multiply by the height and then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. That is how ge use to get dirt quantities.

There are also online tools available for consumers and contractors that provide a quick, easy, and accurate calculation to determine exactly how much dirt/material you need, or need to get rid of.
