Depends on how large the stone is and how thick you want to make the stone mulch. A good rule of thumb: 50 pounds of 3/4" diameter (or smaller) stone = approx. 5 square feet 1 inch deep. The coverage is less for larger sized stone.

You will need 144 cubic inches per square foot of garden langscaping. 1 cubic foot will cover 12 square feet at 1 inch depth.
Your question is not nearly detailed enough! how deep are you trying to cover? Most deserts I have seen are sand not rock.....be more detailed and you will get better answers.

At three inches deep and twelve by twelve square you can do four square feet peer one cubic foot of stone, if possible weigh one square foot of your material, then take your total coverage that you want to cover and divide by four the weight of one cubic foot and you should get apretty close estimate to how much you need to buy, be it by the pound or the ton determining the size of your project. Good Luck

You first have to come up with a volume of rock per square foot
how thick do you want the rock? (Keep all your units the same)
Then you have figured out what volume of rock you need.
