Based on our 20mm sized stones, 1 bulk bag of gravel will cover approximately 12 sqm at 50mm depth
Not much use as they don't give a weight per bulk.
25kg of gravel will cover an area measuring around 0.6sqm. This is based on wanting coverage of about 50mm in depth

Ah, that's useful. Where was that from?
@hugo7 weedproof membrane is a good call
@skinny and @JWestland when I say temporary it may end up being there a good few years. Quotes for redoing the front are getting on for £10k (admittedly including a new wall too) whereas this seems like an option for ~ £100.
What's really prompting it is the crazy paving is too broken up where I want to put a bike shed (a fair few houses have them so hopefully not too much risk and nothing that expensive in there) and this seems a cheap way of levelling it.

As a temporary measure for sorting out my crazy paving front yard (more crazy than paved) I'm thinking of ripping it up and putting some stones/gravel down (plus one of those plastic shed bases so I can put a bike store in).
Firstly, does this sound a reasonable idea? Anything to look out for?
I guess I want something like 20mm washed gravel, how do I work out how much of it I need? How does the weight translate to area?
Cheers
