Good to know
Spread topsoil 4 in at the very least and 4–6 in for a new lawn. For a raised bed, 12 in is a safe default fill depth, and deep-rooted vegetables can need more. Soil settles, so a little extra is normal.
Typical weight used here: about 1.1 tons per cubic yard (range 0.9–1.25). Your supplier's figure is the one to trust.
