1. Determine Soil Quantities / Volume
Estimating soil is not rocket science.
For the ease of calculating, square off your areas, make areas square or rectangle.
Do not try to calculate wedge, curve, circle or L shapes.
2. To Calculate
Length (feet) x Width (feet) x Depth (use figures below) / 27 = Cubic Yards
(Depth)
36 inches (3)
24 inches (2)
12 inches (1)
6 inches (.5)
4 inches (.333)
3 inches (.25)
2 inches (.16)
For wedge shape areas divide the volume by 2
Remember to always round up. And add 20 to 30% for compaction loss.
3. Delivery
a. Locate cess pit, septic tank and leach field.
b. Determine access for the truck, driveway or other (If your two-wheel drive pickup
