Flagstone Calculator:
For a 2400 square foot Patio or Driveway
1 ton covers approximately 100 s.f. @ ¾” to 1 ½” thick.
16 pallets @ 1.5 tons/3,000 lbs ea Exp: 16 x 1.5 x 100 = 2,400 s.f.
24 pallets @ 1.0 tons/2,000 lbs ea
Average: 1 ton covers approximately 90 s.f. @ 1 ½” to 2” thick.
13 pallets @ 2.0 tons/4,000 lbs ea
Exp: 13 x 2.0 x 90 = 2,430 s.f.
18 pallets @ 1.5 tons/3,000 lbs ea
27 pallets @ 1.0 tons/2,000 lbs ea
Thin Veneer Calculator:
For a 2,400 square foot Patio or Driveway
1 ton covers approximately 180 s.f. @ ½” to1” thick.
9 pallets @ 1.5 tons/3,000 lbs ea Exp: 9 x 1.5 x 180 = 2,430 s.f.
Pebbles / Rock Calculator:
Beach Pebbles, River Rock and River Flats are all distributed in 40 lb. bags.
1 bag of Beach Pebbles, River Rock and River Flats covers approximately 3 s.f. @ 2 stones deep (1” to 1 ¼” deep).
The bigger to pebble/rock; the smaller the coverage and vice versa - the smaller the pebble/rock; the larger the coverage.
This applies to stone, 2” to 2 ½” in diameter, and applies to our beach pebbles & river rock & flats.
One 40 lb. bag of Beach Pebbles, 3 ¼”to 3 ¾”, yields 2 ½ s.f. @ 2 stones deep (2” deep)
One 40 lb. bag of Mini Confetti or Chattahoochee, 1/8” to ½”, yields 4 s.f. @ 1 ½” to 2” deep
How much rock would I need to cover area of about 20 feet by 30 feet?
A: Average: 1 cubic yard covers 100 s.f. @ 2” deep
Area = Length (20ft) x Width (30ft)
Area = 600 square feet
You will need: 600 ÷ 100 = 6 cubic yards

Just how much is 1 cubic yard?

How many Wheelbarrow loads to (1) one Truckload?
A truckload is approximately 18 cubic yards and there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard.
So a truckload is 27 x 18 = 486 cubic feet.
A large or contractor size wheelbarrow holds about 5 cubic feet while
homeowner sizes hold about 2 - 3 cubic feet.
SOD ...
Most pallets of sod cover about 400 Square Feet of surface.
The length times the width divided by 400 = # of Pallets.
So if you have an area 20' x 30' ....
20 x 30 = 600 sq ft
600 divided by 400 = 1.5 one and a half pallets of sod.
