The answer will depend on the depth to which the gravel is to be spread.
You will need about 3.7 cubic yards (around 4.75 tons) of gravel.
You would need 31.88 cubic yards of topsoil to cover 855 sq feet at 6 inches deep.
To cover 6 acres with two feet of soil requires 3227 cubic yards of soil. This would require about 1100 3 yard dump truck trips.

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. ----
1 cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, so 3 cubic yards is 81 cubic feet. At 125 lb per cubic foot, that much topsoil would weigh 10,125 lb. At 2000 lb per ton, that converts to 5.0625 tons (if we assume complete precision of all the numbers - if not, then we would be limited to 1 digit of precision because the 3 in 3 cubic yards is only precise to 1 digit. In that case we would have to round the answer off to be 5 tons)
92.593 cubic yards for every inch deep.
9.26 cubic yards for every inch of depth.
Plan on about 2.2 cubic yards (2.8 tons) of gravel.
To calculate the amount of gravel needed to cover an area of 70 feet by 21 feet to a depth of 1 foot, first find the volume in cubic feet: 70 x 21 x 1 = 1,470 cubic feet. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, divide the total volume by 27: 1,470 ÷ 27 ≈ 54.44 cubic yards. Therefore, you will need approximately 54.44 yards 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 958 square feet with 3 inches of pea gravel, you first need to convert the thickness to feet, which is 0.25 feet. The volume needed is 958 sq ft × 0.25 ft = 239.5 cubic feet. Since there are approximately 0.67 cubic yards in a cubic foot, you convert to cubic yards: 239.5 cubic feet ÷ 27 = about 8.86 cubic yards. Given that pea gravel weighs about 1.5 tons per cubic yard, you would need approximately 13.3 tons of pea gravel.
You will need about 3.7 cubic yards (around 4.75 tons) of gravel.
62/3 cubic yards for every 1-foot deep. 5 cubic yards for every 9-inches deep. 31/3 cubic yards for every 6-inches deep. 5/9 cubic yard for every 1-inch deep.
To determine how much gravel you need to cover a 2,400 sq ft area, you first need to decide on the desired depth of gravel. For example, if you want a depth of 3 inches, you would convert that depth to feet (3 inches = 0.25 feet) and then multiply the area by the depth: 2,400 sq ft x 0.25 ft = 600 cubic feet. Since gravel is typically sold by the cubic yard, you'll convert cubic feet to cubic yards by dividing by 27 (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet), resulting in approximately 22.2 cubic yards of gravel needed.
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.
