Material Coverage and Weight

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. Topsoil, base rock, sand, and clay fill materials when compacted will lose approximately 17% volume. This should be considered when calculating amounts needed. These products can also be purchased by 1/2  yards & 5-gallon bucket (customer provides bucket).

Cobbles:  Sold by pallet, super sack and pound.  Pallets and Super Sacks are approximately 1.5 ton.  1″-2″ cobbles will cover approximately 160 sq feet at 2″ deep.  2″ – 4″ cobbles will cover approximately 60-80 sq foot per ton.  4″ – 8″ cobbles will cover approximately 40-60 sq foot per ton.  These products can also be purchased by 5-gallon bucket (Customer provides bucket)
