How much topsoil do you need?
Depth matters far more than area, which is why so many orders come up short. Measure first, then order.
How much topsoil do I need?
Enter the area you are covering and how deep you want it.
Worked at a bulk density of 1.4 tonnes per cubic metre, which is mid-range for screened topsoil at normal moisture. Wet soil weighs more. Order a little over rather than under, because soil settles and a part load costs more to deliver than the extra you would have bought first time.
How much will one tonne of topsoil cover?
One tonne is roughly 0.71 cubic metres. How far that goes depends entirely on depth:
| Depth | Typical job | One tonne covers |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5cm | Top dressing a lawn | 28.6 m² |
| 5cm | Levelling and overseeding | 14.3 m² |
| 10cm | New lawn from seed or turf | 7.1 m² |
| 15cm | Flower and shrub beds | 4.8 m² |
| 30cm | Raised beds and vegetables | 2.4 m² |
