Gravel in Potrero Hill, CA

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. At 2 inches depth it covers about 162 sq ft, at 3 inches about 108 sq ft, and at 4 inches about 81 sq ft. Use these numbers to size your order for pathways, patios, or driveways.

Cost varies by type and supplier, but you can estimate cost per square foot by dividing the price per cubic yard by the coverage for your chosen depth. For example, a $60/yd3 gravel at 2 inches depth costs about $0.37 per sq ft ($60/162). Local delivery fees and material choice will affect the final price.
