One cubic yard of material covers about:
| Depth | Area covered |
|---|---|
| 1 inch | 324 sq ft |
| 2 inches | 162 sq ft |
| 3 inches | 108 sq ft |
| 4 inches | 81 sq ft |
| 6 inches | 54 sq ft |
Formula: length (ft) × width (ft) × depth (inches) ÷ 12 ÷ 27 = cubic yards.
Yards to tons: 1 yard of clear stone weighs about 1.3 tons; 1 yard of granular material about 1.5 tons.
