A yard of gravel is 27 cubic feet (3x3x3=27). To figure how much area it can cover, you need to know the intended depth. For example, if you wanted 4" depth, that is 1/3 of a foot. So 27 cu ft divided by 1/3 ft provides material to cover 81 square feet of area (27x3=81)

Answer 3

3 cubic yards of gravel will cover 243 square feet if the gravel is 4 inches deep.

Answer 4

A cubic yard is 3ft x 3 ft x 3ft. You'd probably want you depth for a parking spot about 4"; at that depth you could cover a 9' x 9' area with 3 cubic feet.

Answer 5

depends on how deep you want your gravel ....

a cubic yard is 3' wide by 3' long by 3' deep so if you wanted the gravel to be 3 feet deep you could cover 9 square feet.

if you only wanted it to be 4 inches deep it would cover an area 9' by 9' or 81 square feet in area.

Answer 6

It really depends on how deep of a hole you are trying to fill. 3 yards will fill up a pickup bed about three times. It looks like a lot more in the bed of a truck than it does when you start to spread it out. To fill two parking spaces, you'll probably need twice that amount, though that is just a guess. Good luck.

Answer 7

Three Square Yards

Answer 8

3 yards would be 3 cubic yards. How much it will cover depends on how thick you want to go.

If you make it 3 inches thick, you will get about 100 sq. ft. coverage per cubic yard.

3 cubic yards will give you an area roughly 20' x 16' X 3" thick.

Answer 9

Instead of figuring how much a yard will cover, figure how much you need. Length * Width * Depth / 27. So say your trying to cover 100 feet, by 100 feet, and you want it 4 inches deep...multiply 100*100*.33(this is the conversion of inches into feet). You'll have 3300 cubic feet. Convert that into cubic yards by dividing by 27. You now have 122 yards. Say you have 10 feet by 25 feet, 3 inches deep 10*25*.25=62.50 / 27 = 2.3 cubic yards I hope this helps! (to get the depth conversion of inches to feet, divide the number of inches you want by 12...ie 4 inches deep, divide 4 by 12 to get .33)

Answer 10

ahhhhh 3 yards. Measure out how much space you want to cover lets say its 9 feet by 9 feet each bag sounds like it cover 3 square yards so you need enough to cover 81 square feet or 27 squre yards so that mean u need 9 bags
