Weight Of A Yard Of Dirt. Some fill dirt contractors require a minimum order of fill dirt, so if you only need a small amount for one project, it may be best to wait until you have other projects needing fill dirt. In case either dirt or topsoil is wet, the weight will increase exponentially.
A typical cubic yard of topsoil can weigh as little as 1,000 pounds in some cases. 5 yards of top soil weighs about 7.5 pounds, or 3 kg., or 1.4 stone. The topsoil usually is heavier than other components, weighing above 3,000 pounds in every cubic yard.
