A ton of gravel covers roughly 115 sq ft at 2 inches deep, or about 75 sq ft at 3 inches. One ton equals about 0.7 cubic yards of stone — worth knowing because quotes and how-to guides mix the two units constantly.
Tons vs. cubic yards
| Unit | Coverage at 2" | Coverage at 3" |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ton (≈ 0.7 cy) | ~115 sq ft | ~75 sq ft |
| 1 cubic yard (≈ 1.4 tons) | ~162 sq ft | ~108 sq ft |
Ottr sells stone by the cubic yard, delivered up to 6 yards per truckload — so if a project guide hands you tons, multiply by 0.7 to get yards and order that. Browse rock and gravel and convert your square footage with the material calculator.
