How Much Gravel for 200 Square Feet?

at 3 inches deep — about 100 bags (0.5 cu ft each) or 2.59 tons

Depth	Cubic yards	Cubic feet	0.5 cu ft bags	Approx. tons
2 in	1.23 yd³	33.3 ft³	67	1.73
3 in (typical)	1.85 yd³	50 ft³	100	2.59
4 in	2.47 yd³	66.7 ft³	134	3.46

Walkways and decorative areas need 2–3 inches of gravel; driveways need 4 inches or more, usually in two compacted layers over a base. Gravel weighs about 1.4 tons per cubic yard.

The math: 200 sq ft × depth in feet ÷ 27 = cubic yards. One cubic yard of gravel covers 162 sq ft at 2" · 108 sq ft at 3" · 81 sq ft at 4".

For driveways, order crushed stone with fines (e.g. #57 over a crusher-run base) rather than round pea gravel, which never locks in place.
