A cubic yard of stone that is 4" thick would cover 9 square yards or 81 square feet. If you need to cover 7000 sq. ft., you would need roughly 86.5 cubic yards. That's a lot of rock.
20 feet x 20 ft x .3333 ft = 133.33 cubic feet / 27 cubic feet per yard = 4.94 cubic yards
Spread it evenly, then leave your hands in the cement for 4-6 hours to spread excess cement.
You would need 31, 80 pound bags to cover 1 cubic yard at 4 inches deep. If you would like the depth to be 6 inches, 45 bags would be needed.
0.74 cubic yards spread at 4 inches (1/9 of a yard) means 0.74 divided by (1/9) = 6.66 square yards, so the answer will depend on how wide the path is. So now you would have to divide 6.66 by the width of the path. This is about 5.5 square metres. So on a path 2 feet wide is would spread 9.99 yards, or 6.66 yards if 3 feet or a yard wide.
One cubic yard of mulch will cover approximately 160 square feet at 2" deep, so you would need approximately two cubic yards of mulch to cover 271 square feet at 2" deep.
When you say a yard, you are actually saying a cubic yard. If you were to place the much in a 3 foot high by 3 foot wide by 3 foot tall cube, it would exactly fill the cube. How much it covers depends on how deeply you spread it. Since you should spread it at a dept of no less than 4 inches, it should cover about 20 square feet. If you spread it deeper than that, it will of course, cover less area.The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 324/(depth of the mulch, in inches)
6 It depends how deep you want it.
Well, gee, I think that would be 2 bags. But if you have found a bag that is 2 cubic yards, that is ONE HUGE BAG...Enough to fill the back of a pick-up truck. I think you better look into your phrasing, one cubic yard of mulch will cover 100 square feet, or an area that is 10' x 10'. IMPROVED ANSWER: I think you mean that 1 bag of mulch will cover 2 cubic feet. That's the standard bag sold at Lowes & Home Depot. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet (3'x3'x3'=27). Therefore 4 cubic yards is equal to 108 cubic feet. You would need 54 bags (108/2=54).
I spread that mulch all over the flowerbeds yesterday.
It would depend on what you are measuring. A cubic yard of mulch is lighter than a cubic yard of gravel.
You can either do it manually with this calculation: Length x Width x Depth -- for depth, this would be a fraction of a foot In your case= 5x19x(2/12) = 15.8333 CUBIC FEET --- about 8 bags of 2 cu. ft or 6 bags of 3 cu. ft mulch To find cubic yards (there are 27 cu. ft in a cubic yd), you would divide 15.83/27 so it is about .6 cubic yards if you were to oreter OR To simplify things (for the next time since I gave you the answer) is to use this tool --- http://www.barnesnursery.com/calculator.htm You can calculate rectangular areas, circular areas, or triangular areas and you can adjust the depth.... it even breaks it down to bags of mulch needed or how many pickup truck loads you would need

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet, thus 1 cubic feet = 1/27 cubic yards and 2 cubic feet = 2/27 cubic yards (1 bag of mulch) Landscapers speak in yards of mulch needed for a garden. They are referring to cubic yards. A bag of mulch is 2 cubic feet, so you would need 13.5 bags of mulch to equal 1 cubic yard (yard of mulch)
By a scoop, I assume you mean a front-end loader bucket. When you purchase mulch from a garden center, or supply yard, the buckets used are typically 1 CUBIC YARD, or what we call a "Yard", that would be 27 cubic feet. A 10' x 10' area would require 1 Yard applying the mulch at 4" deep (that's 25 cubic feet).
Convert 2 inch depth to feet which is 1/6 foot. Now multiply 288 x (1/6) = 48 cubic feet Each bag is 2 cubic feet, hence number of bags required is 48/2 = 24
1 yard of mulch at 12 inches deep would cover 25 sq. ft., so for 400 square feet you would need 16 yards. 12 inches is the depth you need to start with because the mulch will settle.
