A "yard of gravel" is a measure of volume, not a measure of area. There are 27 cubic feet (3x3x3 feet) in a yard of gravel, or one cubic yard.
It depends on the size of your gravel (the amount of air trapped between the rocks). If you have small gravel (decomposed granite) it'll weigh more - if you have larger rocks, (river rocks, etc) it'll weigh less. It usually ranges from 1.3, 1.4 to 1.8, 1.9 tons.
The weight of gravel can vary depending on its type and moisture content, but a common estimate is that one cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.5 tons. Therefore, 3,000 yards of gravel would weigh approximately 4,500 tons (3,000 yards × 1.5 tons per yard). Always check the specific weight for the type of gravel being used for a more accurate calculation.

One cubic yard of class 5 gravel typically weighs between 1.5 to 2 tons, depending on the specific composition and moisture content of the material. Generally, you can estimate around 1.5 tons per cubic yard for planning purposes. However, it's advisable to check with your supplier for precise weight information based on their specific product.
To calculate the number of 5-gallon buckets of gravel in a cubic yard, we need to first determine the volume of a cubic yard. A cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet. Since there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, a cubic yard is equivalent to 201.96 gallons. Therefore, there are approximately 40.39 (201.96 divided by 5) 5-gallon buckets of gravel in a cubic yard.
One cubic meter of gravel weighs approximately 1500 kg
No, a cubic yard of gravel will have a different volume measurement compared to a cubic yard of dirt because they have different densities. Gravel is denser and heavier, so it will take up less volume than dirt in a cubic yard.
It would depend on what you are measuring. A cubic yard of mulch is lighter than a cubic yard of gravel.
