Landscaping Material Notes

• All material loaded from our yard is sold by the yard, not ton.
• A yard is close to a ton in mulch and topsoil, stone and slate are approximately 1.3 ton/yard.  Always round up.
• Our skid steer bucket hold one yard, our 70z holds 3 yards.
• Best driveway material is 1A's and dust.
• Best stone by a pool is riverstone - smooth rocks that won't hurt liner of the pool.
• Our topsoil is organic, made with local compost.

• To figure out material needed for any area*, the formula is:

             (Length x width x depth [decimal form]) divided by 27

       **Example:  20' x 12' with a 4" depth

           (20 x 12 x 0.333)/27=2.96 yards of material

• The area of a circle is πr2   (π = 3.14)

       **Example: radius is 8', depth is 3"  (3.14 x 64) = 200.96

           (200.96 x 0.25)/27 = 1.86 yards of material 

• To get decimal figure, take the depth in inches and divide by 12, or use chart: 

• How much ground does a yard of mulch cover?
