For a 20 ft by 10 ft area at 0.5 ft deep, the volume is 3.70 cubic yards, about 5.2 tons.
FAQs
Is the ton figure exact?
No. Stone density varies, so 1.4 tons per cubic yard is a guide only.
Does this allow for compaction?
No. Add extra if the stone will be compacted or will settle.
Should I order exactly this amount?
Order a little extra for waste and uneven ground.
