How Much Stone Do I Need?
If you’re looking to fill your garden, walkway or pool area with stone, you might be wondering, “How much stone do I need?”
The answer is very simple. Below we will show you how to calculate how much stone do you need.
Step 1: Try to find out the volume of the material to be filled in the area. This can be done by measuring the length, width and depth of the area in which you are going to place the stone. Multiply all the dimension (L*W*D) and you’ll get the volume of the material.
Step 2: If, after determining the volume, you need to determine the exact weight of the material in tonnes, you can do so in a few simple steps. Simply multiply the volume of the material by the density of the material.
For example, If the volume of your stone estimates 2.7 cubic yards and the density of the used stone is 1.21 t/yd3, then multiply volume by density.
i.e 2.7* 1.21 = 3.267 tons
If you don’t want to calculate this manually, you can always use our advanced stone calculator, which will automatically calculate the volume and weight of the stone based on the dimensions you enter.
Important Uses of Decorative Stones
Decorative stone can be used as an attractive and functional ground cover in almost any area of your yard. They are extremely durable and do not fade or become discoloured as a result of weathering effect.
When used as mulch around trees or shrubs, these rocks can help keep soil moist and in place. In general, they do not attract pests like termites or ants.
For erosion control, it is used in flower and garden beds, as well as on walkways. Driveways, gardens, and paths are all examples of where the stone are used.
