To cover 300 square feet 4 inches thick, you would need approximately 3 cubic yards of gravel.
You would need 31.88 cubic yards of topsoil to cover 855 sq feet at 6 inches deep.
You would need 3,355 cubic yards of soil to cover 6 acres at 24 inches deep.
CONVERSION CHART1 Cubic yard 1 inch deep will cover 324 Square feet1 Cubic yard 2 inch deep will cover 162 Square feet1 Cubic yard 3 inch deep will cover 108 Square feet1 Cubic yard 4 inch deep will cover 81 Square feet1 Cubic yard 5 inch deep will cover 64 Square feet1 Cubic yard 6 inch deep will cover 54 Square feet(Length in Feet)( Width in Feet)*(Depth in Feet)=cubic feetExample: Say you have an area that is 12' x 18 '. You want to cover it with 6" of material.Multiply, 12' x 18' x *.5' to get 108 cubic feet. You see, 6" is .5 feet or 1/2 a foot.Now, devide 108 cubic feet by 27 cubic feet(1 yard) to get your total yardage at 4 yards.If you want a 3" cover you use 1/4' or .25'. A four inch cover is 1/3 foot or .33', etc.OR ---- Multiply your square footage by .003 for 1" coverage.0061 for a 2" coverage .0092 for a 3" coverage and.0123 for a 4" coverage. It takes 12.3 cubic yards of top soil to cover 1,000 square feet at 4". Hope this helps. ----
To convert cubic yards to cubic feet, multiply by 27 (3 cubic yards * 27 = 81 cubic feet). Then, calculate the weight by multiplying the volume by the density (81 cubic feet * 125 pounds/cubic foot = 10,125 pounds). Finally, convert the weight to tons by dividing by 2,000 (10,125 pounds / 2,000 = 5.06 tons).
9.26 cubic yards for every inch of depth.
92.593 cubic yards for every inch deep.
Plan on about 2.2 cubic yards (2.8 tons) of gravel.
You cannot directly convert cubic yards to square yards because they measure different things: volume vs. area. Cubic yards measure volume, while square yards measure area. To find how many square yards cover the same area as a cubic yard of gravel, you would need to know the thickness or depth of the gravel layer.
To cover 300 square feet 4 inches thick, you would need approximately 3 cubic yards of gravel.
You would need approximately 2.5 cubic yards of gravel to cover a 12' by 15' area at a depth of 2 inches.
You will need 20 cubic yards or 25.7 tons of gravel.
The amount of gravel needed to cover 252 square feet depends on how thick (that is, deep) you want the gravel. If you want the gravel to be 3 inches thick... Convert the measurement to the same units. We'll use feet. 3 inches = 1/4 foot Multiply the thickness times the area to get volume in cubic measure. 1/4 feet x 252 feet = 63 cubic feet Gravel in the US is usually sold by the cubic yard, which is 27 cubic feet Thus, 63/27 = 2 1/3 cubic yards 2 1/3 cubic yards of gravel will cover 252 square feet of area to a dept of 3 inches.
Approximately 24.7 cubic yards or 31.7 tons of gravel.
2 inches = 1/6 foot Volume = 3,500/6 = 5831/3 cubic feet = 21.605 cubic yards
You will need 65.93 cubic yards or 84.6 tons of gravel.
218.75 cubic feet or 8.1 cubic yards
