Coverage depends on material density and the depth you want to lay it. As a rough rule, 1 ton of common aggregates often covers about 50-80 square feet at 1 inch depth, and 1 cubic yard is 27 cubic feet; use our material calculator for precise coverage for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone.

A full-size pickup bed can often carry about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards, but weight limits matter—dirt and stone are heavy and can exceed payload. Check your truck's payload rating and load evenly, or choose a dump truck delivery to avoid overloading.

Five cubic yards equals 135 cubic feet. If your wheelbarrow holds roughly 3 cubic feet, that's about 40 to 50 wheelbarrows for gravel, sand, dirt, or stone, so plan labor and time accordingly.
