One cubic yard of soil covers a 3 x 3 x 3 foot area - in essence, 9 feet.
Depending on the material, it can weigh up to 2000 pounds (1 cu yard of sand is 2000 pounds - that's a lot of sand!)
To be more precise, there are online calculators to help you determine how much you need -- you will need to know the area you want to cover in square feet, and to what depth. From there, you can calculate the cubic feet and come to your answer!
Useful Answer:
The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 324/(depth of the top soil, in inches)

What is the weight of one cubic yard of cement? If you are asking the weight of 1 cubic yard of CONCRETE it is approximately 2 tons or 4000 pounds per cubic yard when wet.
No, a cubic yard of soil and a cubic yard of mulch have different densities, so they do not occupy the same volume. Mulch is lighter and fluffier than soil, so a cubic yard of mulch will take up more space than a cubic yard of soil.
A yard of soil typically refers to a volume of soil measuring 1 yard in length, 1 yard in width, and 1 yard in depth. A cubic yard of soil, on the other hand, refers to a volume of soil measuring 3 feet in length, 3 feet in width, and 3 feet in depth. In essence, a yard of soil is a specific measurement, while a cubic yard is a standardized unit of volume.
