cubic yards
Landscaping measurement standard
Cubic yards are units of volume equal to a cube measuring one yard on each side, or 27 cubic feet.
The measurement dominates American construction and landscaping: contractors order concrete, mulch, gravel, and topsoil by the cubic yard.
We need three cubic yards of fill dirt for the garden beds.
