It doesn't.
I have found that it is extremely common for landscaper to greatly inflate the amount of stone used to impress the customer or justify a higher price, knowing full well most do not know how to calculate the volume of one cubic yard.

1 cubic yard has 27 cu ft. Assuming a depth of 3” gives you 108 sq ft of coverage per cu yd (4x27). 3000/108=27 cu yds.
Where did I go wrong?
