To use the chart, determine the square footage of your area and look for that number to the left side of the chart. Then determine the depth of the soil you feel is needed and find that number along the top of the chart. Where the two boxes intersect will be the approximate cubic yards of soil needed. Remember, when using the chart for soil calculations, add 20% to the yardage recommended to account for compaction.
