Driveway Coverage

 

EXAMPLE 1

Standard Driveway to be

covered with Stone 6" Deep

 

20' x 30' = 600 Square Feet

600' x .50 (6" Depth) = 300 Cubic Feet

300 / 27 = 11.11 Cubic Yards (round up to12 yards)

 

 

Driveway or Pad Coverage

 

EXAMPLE 2

L-Shaped Driveway or Pad to be covered with Stone, 7" Deep

  This would be done in two sections.

20' x 35' = 700 Square Feet

10' x 32' = 320 Square Feet

320' + 700' = 1,020 Square Feet

1,020 x .58 (7" Depth) = 591.60 Cubic Feet

591.60 / 27 = 21.91 Cubic Yards (round up to 22)

 

Calculating Circles

 

EXAMPLE 1

Length Around a Circle, 16' Round Swimming Pool

 

  16' x 3.1416 = 50.26'

To add 2.5' of stone around this pool 3' deep:

56.55' x 2.5' = 125.65'

125.65' x .25 (3" depth) = 31.41 Cubic Feet

31.41 / 27 = 1.163 Cubic Yards Calculating Circles

 

EXAMPLE 2

Square Footage Inside a Circle, 24' Round Swimming Pool

 

  24' x 24' = 576'

576' x .7854 = 452.39 Sq Ft (total inside pool)

To add 4" of sand evenly across pool:

452.39' x .33 (4" depth) = 149.29 Cubic Feet

149.29 / 27 = 5.53 Cubic YardsCalculator
