You will need about 463 cubic yards (around 594 tons) of gravel for this area.
You'll need about 28.704 cubic yards (37 tons) of gravel.
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.
1 (cubic yard) = 46 656 cubic inchesIf the depth is 2 inches then the area it will cover is 46656/2 square inches = 23,328 square inches. Convert 23,328 square inches to square yards23 328 (square inches) = 18 square yards
To cover 300 square feet 4 inches thick, you would need approximately 3 cubic yards of gravel.

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.

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.
744 Square Feet
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.
2 inches = 1/6 foot Volume = 3,500/6 = 5831/3 cubic feet = 21.605 cubic yards
36 inches is 1 yard and so 2 times 1 = 2 square yards
