1 yard of top soil can be compared to the size of a washing machine. Of course you will have setteling involved. Most topsoil companies that deliver will usually have a minimum delivery of 5 or 6 yards, which is a decent sized pile.

 

What is a berm?

 

Yes snowyleaf

 

A berm is a level space seperating two features.A long firm mounded line of earth.

 

a berm is basically a half of a cylinder.
r squared X Pi legnth/2
radius is the height. pi is 3.14

if it is short and wide (half of an oval)
then use Pi*a*b /2

height X width X 3.14/2

tis will be the volume in cubic feet ( make sure you are measuting in feet)
then divide this by 27 for cubic yards.

 

Or half of an Avatar, depending on who you are.

 

oops, forgot to say that you ave to multiply by legnth on the second one...

Pi X W X H X l /2
3.14 X width X height X legnth divided by 2
then divide by 27 yo get the yards

 

This is what my wife calls her berm. This is kind of a test, I've been reading a lot the last couple of years but haven't posted alot. I've been out playing in the dirt for the last two summers. I just wanted to see how to post a pic, once i figure this out i can ask some questions. This area looks quite a bit different now, It's all covered in woodchips and i have grass, yeah. now i just have to figure out what to plant on it. I have spuce trees across the top and 7 or 8 crabs across the middle. I want to plant alot of bushes and decorative grass and live in WI, I think zone 4. I show you this pic if it works and will go take a few more new pictures here tomorrow and see what you guys think.

 

OK, that didn't work, i'll try it again. Hmmm i figure the file is to big, i will go take some more pic's tomorrow night and try again.

 

please tell me your joking, being a landscaper...
