I have a yard that I would like to make more even. We took out large plants and some trees and they left holes and closer to the street I would like to create a small hill going downward to the road. Now it's almost an edge.
So I read up on this http://forum.onlineconversion.com/showthread.php?t=3543 and it's pretty clear to me. So I posted an add on Kijiji and I got a call! The person on the other line explained to me what a truckload of dirt cost and how to calculate how much I would need. However she used completely different ways of indicating quantities. Of course I should have written them down but now I'm lost. Anyone come across this before? How do I know how much of a truckload I would need compared to square footage of dirt?
