The question as stated makes no sense, as square feet is a measure of area and "yard", is a measurement of volume. Normally, "yard" is a measurement of length. However, concrete, soil, gravel, sand, etc., are normally sold (in the U.S.) by the "yard" which is simply short for "cubic yard."

However, you may easily calculate the area that a yard of crushed rock will cover, depending on the desired depth of crushed rock. As a cubic yard is 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet, which is equivalent to 9 square feet by 36 inches, simply divide 36 inches by the desired depth in inches, and multiply it by 9 square feet.

Thus, if you wanted a depth of 8 inches, 36 divided by 8 is 4.5. So, you can cover 4.5 square yards, or 4.5 times 9 square feet = 40.5 square feet, which would be a square area approximately 6 feet 4 inches by 6 feet 4 inches.

How do you convert tons of rock to square yards?

This depends on how much rock you will use per square yard. Suppose you intend to use 1/100 tons (=20 lb) per square yard. Then if you have one ton of rock, it will cover 100 square yards. Similarly, if you intended to use 1/50 tons per square yard, 1 ton will cover 50 square yards. In general you want to use factor labeling: If you are using x tons per square yard, then write this as (1 square yard) / (x tons of rock) = (1/x)*(square yards/tons of rock) This is called a conversion factor. Now, if you have some quantity of rock, say y tons of rock, and you want to see how many square yards it would cover you just multiply (y tons of rock)*(1/x)*(square yards/tons of rock) = y/x (square yards*tons of rock/tons of rock) = y/x square yards since the labels just divide out.
