Typical small projects: a garden bed or path often needs 1 to 3 cubic yards, a patio about 1 to 2 cubic yards for a 10x12 area at 2 inches depth, a 1-car driveway at 4 inches depth often needs around 3 cubic yards while a 2-car driveway can require 6 to 10 cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard generally covers about 80 square feet at 4 inches depth; weight per cubic yard varies by material so check the calculator for tons.
