I need to increase the surface level in my garden prior to laying
new turf. I want to order top soil but do not know how much I need.
How do you work out how much you need. For instance if I have an
area of 20ft x 10ft = 200sq ft and I want to raise the level by 2
inches how much soil do I need?


33.3 cu ft or just under 1,25 cubic yards.


Ah but..... what about settlemnt after spreading? How much to allow
for....?


Perhaps he could just borrow Phil's soil-generating mole?


I blame Ken Livingstone - extending the London Underground...
