Material Coverage and Weight

Calculator is for material 2″ or less in size.

Gravel, Mulch, Soil, Sand:  All ground cover products are sold by quantity not weight, 1 cubic yard (one level scoop on loader) will cover an area of 160 sq feet (10′ x 16′) at 2″ deep. Materials like topsoil, base rock, sand, and clay fill materials when compacted will lose approximately 17% volume.

Cobbles:  Sold by pallet, super sack, cubic yard and pound.  Pallets and Super Sacks are approximately 1.5 ton.  1″-2″ cobbles will cover approximately 160 sq feet at 2″ deep per cubic yard.  2″ – 4″ cobbles will cover approximately 60-80 sq foot per ton.  4″ – 8″ cobbles will cover approximately 40-60 sq foot per ton.

Palletized Stone:  Can be purchased by pallet or by pound.  Pallets range between 1 and 2 ton.  Arkansas Fieldstone and Sandstone will cover approximately 80-100 square foot per pallet.  Flagstone, depending on thickness will cover approximately 100 – 130 square foot per ton.

Rubber Mulch:  Sold by 2000 pound super sack (approximately 2.47 cyd), .8 cf bags and Cubic yard.   Each Cubic yard will cover approximately 160 square feet (10’x16′) at 2″ deep.

Dry stack: 1 Ton will cover approximately 1′ high 15-20 linear foot long.

Edging Stone:  4″ thick will cover approximately 100-120 linear foot per ton.  8″ thick will cover approximately 50-60 linear foot per ton.

Flagstone: 1″-1.5″ thick will cover approximately 100-130 sq foot per ton.  1.5″-2: thick will cover approximately 90-110 sq foot per ton.

Boulders:  Sold by pallet and individually.  We have boulders that range from 10 pounds up to 6,000 pounds.

We can sawcut and drill holes in boulders,  slabs, and step treads upon request.

Material coverage depends on application, compaction, and size.
