Using a rough conversion of 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.25 tons, 1 ton is about 0.8 cubic yard. At 1 inch depth that covers about 260 sq ft, at 3 inches about 87 sq ft, and at 6 inches about 43 sq ft; actual coverage varies with compaction and moisture.

For solid bases use recommended materials like compacted crusher-run, aggregate base, or proper concrete mixes.
