DISCLAIMER
Calculations are approximate; coverage may vay depending on installation and inconsistency in natural stone materials. Size, color, and texture of materials can change from items shown on this website or in distributed media. Come to Superior Stone's yard to view materials, before delivery.
Rule of thumb for material calculations:
Decorative stone and gravels
General rule – double the diameter for minimum depth. 1″ should be figured at 2″ depth and 1 1/2″ should be figured at 3″ and so on…
Mixed sizes 2″ – 4″ and 3″-5″ – use the largest sizes as the minimum depth.
Flagstone
General rule – 1″ +/- 140Sf per ton | 1-2″ +/- 100-120Sf per ton | 2″-3″ 60-70Sf per ton
Coverage will vary due to individual installation differences.
River Rounds
Approximate coverage per ton
3″-5″ 50Sf per ton | 4″-8″ 40Sf per ton | 8″-16″ 30Sf per ton | 16″-24″ 20Sf per ton
Weedbarrier
Durable material that helps reduce weed growth and aids with keeping stone from sinking in loose sandy soils.
