How much top soil
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?

It would appear that you need 1.23 cubic yards of top soil. http://www.buckjones.com/mulchConv.html Regards, Emrys Davies. "martyn.green" wrote in message s.com...
