A 40 lb bag of topsoil typically covers about 3-4 square feet at a depth of 1 inch. Since 1 cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet, you would need approximately 9-12 bags to make up 1 cubic yard of topsoil.

This depends on the bulk density of the topsoil. If we assume a typical bulk density of 1.3g/cc of soil: 1 cubic yard = 764,550cc of soil (764,550cc)(1.3g/cc) = 993,915g of soil (993,915g)/(453.59g/lb.) = 2,191lb. 15(1,191lb.) = 32,865lb.

How many yards will a tri-axle dump truck hold?

i believe a tri axlw will hold about 14 yards of top soil A Tri-Axle will hold up to20 - 25 yards of soil depending on weight. A Tandem will hold about 14 - 17 yards of soil. Tri-axle can hold about 30 yards of mulch. How much it will hold, depends on the size of the box. I can 'legally' load 20 yds of 'pit-run' (gravel) in a 24 foot tandem trailer (in my province).

Garden has an area of 24yd and covered in top soil 3inches deep what is the volume of top soil used in yd 3?

To find the volume of topsoil used in cubic yards, first convert the depth from inches to yards. Since 1 yard is equal to 36 inches, 3 inches is 3/36 = 1/12 yards. Then, multiply the area of the garden (24 square yards) by the depth (1/12 yards) to find the volume. So, the volume of topsoil used is 24 * 1/12 = 2 cubic yards.
