how much dirt needed?

[2 clowns mowing]

i have an area behind a house that is only clay and will need top soil on it i would say it's 100 ft wide by 300 feet long thinking 2-3 inches deep how many yards of top soil will be needed to be trucked in? and what kind of grass seed should i use in mid ohio?

[Duekster]

27 sq feet per yard

Use this it will figure it for you. Made for concrete. But dirt will work also.

100 x 300 x .25 / 27 = 278 cubic yards

For future reference, there is a calculator in the "Free Tools" tab at the top of the screen.
And yeah, 278 is alot of soil

Keep in mind the soil will cost you roughly $6200+ alone. Usually i get $25-30yrd to spread it etc. I dont work out my prices that way really but it comes down to that i guess. Your looking at 7 grand in labor on top of the soil cost just for spreading.
