FAQ

What area does 6 yards of stone cover?

Six yards of stone — a full truckload — covers about 486 sq ft at 2 inches, 324 sq ft at 3 inches, or 240 sq ft at 4 inches. One yard spreads 324 sq ft per inch of depth, so multiply by six and divide by your depth in inches.

One 6-yard load in real projects

  • Driveway top-up at 2" — close to 500 sq ft, a typical two-car drive
  • Decorative beds at 3" — about 324 sq ft of borders and beds
  • New gravel pad at 4" — roughly a 15x16 area
