he weight of one cubic yard of soil can vary depending on the type of soil and its moisture content. On average:
- Dry, loose soil weighs about 2,000 to 2,700 pounds per cubic yard (approximately 1 to 1.35 tons).
- Wet or compacted soil can weigh significantly more, sometimes up to 3,000 to 3,500 pounds per cubic yard (around 1.5 to 1.75 tons).
Keep in mind that different types of soil (e.g., sand, clay, loam) have different densities, so the weight may fluctuate based on the specific composition.
