My first step in finding the amount of dirt to be used is dividing the yard into square sections.This will allow me to find the square feet and volume of dirt needed for one area, then they canbe added together to find a total. I turned the 4in of dirt into feet = 0.33ft so that units would becorrect.●Biggest section (backyard): 95L x 53W x 0.33 ft high●Side yard (not by driveway): 85L x 12W x 0.33 ft high●Front yard: 52L x 33W x 0.33ft high●Front yard (little square by entrance): 22L x 12W x 0.33ft high●Side yard (behind driveway): 40L x 18W x 0.33ft high●Grass strip next to driveway: 45L x 8W x 0.33ft highNow that I have all of the dimensions, I can calculate the area of dirt needed.●1661.55 cubic feet (backyard)●336.6 cubic feet (side yard)●566.28 cubic feet (front)●87.12 cubic feet (front patio)●237.6 cubic feet (side yard behind driveway)●118.8 cubic feet (driveway strip)
●TOTAL: 3,007.95 cubic feet dirt for the whole yard of a 4 in layer
