How do you determine the amount of sand or gravel needed for an area?
I have an approximately 200 sq ft area and want 3" of gravel and 2" of
sand.
Thanks for your help.

Others have given you the method and accurate figures on the cubic yards and
Robert gave you real world expectations. What no one has yet mentioned is
that these items are sold by the ton most places. The amount of pounds to
cubic yard varies a bit with the size of the gravel. This might help you,
