How To Figure Out How Much Stone I Need?

How To Figure Out How Much Stone I Need?‍

You will want to get the total square foot of the area you are trying to fill with stone.

This is the length times the width= square foot ‍Then you will want to know how thick you want to install normally between 3" - 4" is ideal.

You will need to convert this over to inches from feet. so you divide the total inches you want to use by 12.

example 3 inches deep divided by 12 = 0.25 ‍

You will then use this equation to figure it out - Total Square foot x depth(0.25(3 inches)) divided by 27 = yards needed, and we always round up to the nearest yard ‍

Example we have 600 total square feet needed to cover at 3 inches deep

600 x 0.25= 150 / 27 = 5.55 rounding up = 6 yards needed to complete this project. ‍‍

If you are wanting to figure out tons, you will then take the total 5.55 and multiply by 1.27 which will = 7.05 tons

Tldr; measure area, determine depth, Google gravel calculator. done ... move in to next task

Very helpful. Thank you. This is much better than pine bark mulching and blowing the mulch out each fall when the leaves come. I was able to calculate my 15 ton project easily thanks to you.

I want to cover a garden area with rounded gravel. The area is 4 ft. 16 ft and the depth would be 3 in. Each bag at the nursery is.4 cu ft for .5 cu yd. How many bags would I need.

i use this for mulch but looks like its the same thing

Total Square Foot X depth(3inches)
then you divided by 324(1cubic yard)

600x3=1800 / 324= 5.55

or

just 600 divided by 108(1cubic yard 3'depth)=5.55

i always get confuse with other ways so i keep using this numbers instead
1 cubic yard=324 square ft (1'depth)
1cubic yard=216 square ft (2'depth)
1cubic yard=108 square ft (3'depth)

1cubic yard=81 square ft (4'depth)

I have 360 square feet. Using B size ( egg ) shape how many yards needed?

I have about 100 sq feet. How many cu I need for the bigger stone in your video in the front scape

[kenpicillo]

is this formula for p stone or 3 inch stone?

[jgairguns]

For 10, 000 sqf how much of the small rock 3 inche deep...

In the equation where does he get the 27 what’s that number for?
