To determine how many tons of gravel will cover 900 square feet, you need to know the desired depth of the gravel. Typically, a depth of 2 to 3 inches is common for driveways or landscaping. For example, if you want a depth of 3 inches, you'd need about 0.75 tons of gravel per 100 square feet, resulting in approximately 6.75 tons for 900 square feet. Always check the specific density of the gravel being used, as this can vary.
To cover 100 square feet with gravel that is 1 inch thick, you first need to convert the thickness from inches to feet: 1 inch is 1/12 feet. Therefore, the volume of gravel required is 100 square feet × (1/12) feet = 8.33 cubic feet. If each bag of gravel is 0.05 cubic feet, you would need 8.33 cubic feet ÷ 0.05 cubic feet per bag = 166.6 bags. Rounding up, you would need 167 bags of gravel.

The coverage area of 5 cubic feet of pea gravel will depend on the thickness at which it is spread. To determine this, you will need to know the desired depth of the pea gravel. You can calculate the square footage coverage by dividing the volume of the gravel (5 cubic feet) by the desired depth in feet.
A 50 lb bag of gravel typically covers about 0.5 cubic feet. To determine how many square feet it covers at a depth of 4 inches (which is 1/3 of a foot), you can use the formula: area = volume / depth. Therefore, a 50 lb bag of gravel would cover approximately 1.5 square feet at a depth of 4 inches.
It would take roughly 66 bags to cover a 200 square ft area 2 inches thick
That depends on how deep you want to spread it. To cover 600 square feet, you need (111/9) cubic yards for every 6 inches of depth.
Based on sand and gravel calculator found on L.R. Faulk Construction Co. site, 1 ton of gravel (clean rock) will equal approximately 7.3 sq. ft x 6 inches deep, or 5.2 sq. ft x 3 inches deep. A ton of gravel will cover approximately 15 square yards (135 square feet) at 3 inches deep.
A "yard of gravel" is a measure of volume, not a measure of area. There are 27 cubic feet (3x3x3 feet) in a yard of gravel, or one cubic yard.
