One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) of pea gravel weighs about 3,000 lbs
One cubic foot weighs 111.11 lbs 3000/27
There are 18 cubic feet in one ton of pea gravel 2000/111.11
18 cubic feet at 3 1/2 inch (0.29 feet) depth wil cover 62 square feet 18/0.29

For example: If 4 feet wide, one ton will cover a length of 15.5 feet 62/4

MOWERMAN2468 agrees: don't know if this is accurate, but it sounds good.
wildandblue agrees: Yes I just spread pea gravel across the end of my driveway and that's the coverage I got
