How do you calculate the amount of stone that is needed to cover 7000 sq ft of dirt with 4 inches of stone as measured in yards... I would guess they mean cubic yards?

[Edit]

Answer

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.
