How do I calculate how much slate chippings I need?
It is important to work out the area coverage by multiplying the length by the width and then the depth of the area to cover. The depth is least important as we typically recommend a depth of 30-50mm coverage with all decorative aggregates, chippings, gravel, slates and pebbles. For example, One ton of stone will cover up to 240 square feet with 1” depth, 120 square feet with 2” depth, 80 square feet with 3” depth, etc.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.The approximate coverage per ton is 70 – 140 sq. Flagstone pieces range approximately 1 – 4 sq.
How many square feet will 1 ton of slate chips cover?
Beautiful black stone that is slightly reflective adding contrast & elegance to your landscape. Uses: good for walkways, firepits, and decorative landscape beds. Coverage guidelines: 1 ton covers an area approximately 100-91 square feet to a recomended depth of 2 inches. Using 2 inches for the depth, the following measurements are a guide to the amount of gravel coverage per ton: 1/4 to 1/2 inch gravel, 100 square feet per ton; 1/2 to 1 inch gravel, 90 square feet per ton; and 1 1/2 to 2 inches gravel, 80 square feet per ton.Four tons of gravel is roughly 3 cubic yards. A full standard dump truck is about 10-14 cubic yards or about 13-18 tons.
