Not sure how much you need for your garden? Use our gravel calculator to find out!
The amount of gravel you need depends on the size of your garden and the specific project you are working on. To determine the right amount, you can measure the area you need to cover and calculate the volume required. It's always better to overestimate the amount needed and have extra on hand, rather than underestimate and have to make another trip to the store. If you need help, our team at Stones4Gardens would be happy to assist you in calculating the amount you need. Contact us for more information or use our gravel calculator and place your order today!
For example, if you want to cover 1m2 (1 meter x 1 meter) of your area of depth 50mm, you will need approximately 100kg of pebbles or gravel. On the other side, the depth of 30mm will need 60 kilograms. However, we do recommend a depth of at least 50mm for better results.
Yes, we've created a calculator with all our products in mind. You only need to select the depth depending on the decorative aggregate.
As heavy as it may sound, 20 kilograms or 50 pounds is not a lot when we look at the area we want to decorate in meters squared. Therefore, it is essential to understand the weight factor. For example, 20 kilograms of pebbles may cover only 0.5m2, and please do remember it does vary on the depth of the gravel or aggregate used. Do not feel discouraged. The final results are excellent!
The coverage of a ton of gravel depends on the size of the pebbles and the desired depth of the coverage. On average, a ton of 20mm gravel will cover approximately 10 square meters to a depth of 50mm, while a ton of 40mm gravel will cover approximately 5 square meters to a depth of 50mm. These are rough estimates and the actual coverage may vary based on factors such as the levelness of the surface and how tightly the stones are packed. It is always recommended to overestimate the amount needed to ensure you have enough for your project.
To calculate the weight needed to cover your specific area, such as pathways or driveways with our gravel or pebbles, you will need to know the length, width and depth of your space. By calculating the size of your outdoor space, our calculator will let you find an estimate which will help you while completing the order.
The depth of gravel depends on the purpose for which it is being used. For general landscaping purposes, such as creating a driveway or walkway, a depth of 50mm (2 inches) is typically sufficient. For decorative purposes, a shallower depth of 25-50mm (1-2 inches) may be used.
