A cubic yard is a 3’ by 3’ by 3’ area. Most materials can cover approximately 100 square feet, 3″ deep, per cubic yard. This is especially true for mulch and crushed rock under 2″. Material larger than two inches varies by material. The recommended application is 3″- 4″ deep. Please refer to our coverage calculator for further assistance.
