One cubic yard of soil covers a 3 x 3 x 3 foot area - in essence, 9 feet.
Depending on the material, it can weigh up to 2000 pounds (1 cu yard of sand is 2000 pounds - that's a lot of sand!)
To be more precise, there are online calculators to help you determine how much you need -- you will need to know the area you want to cover in square feet, and to what depth. From there, you can calculate the cubic feet and come to your answer!
Useful Answer:
The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 324/(depth of the top soil, in inches)
