How do I measure the amount of stones I need to cover a seating area in my garden?

I have an area 3.5x5 that I want to lay 10mm white tuscan stones depth of 20-30mm but I cant work out for much I need.

Re: How many bags required to cover 7.5 sq metres with Tuscan Path 20-80mm 15kg Natural Stone Mix?

Hi @GregTsoi,

As mentioned above, I'd certainly encourage you to check with the helpful team at your local store's Special Order counter. In metro locations, we offer bulk deliver of many types of decorative stones and it would be the most budget-friendly option to have 1 ton delivered.

Re: how to calculate amount of garden stones or pebbles

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Katwiz. It's a pleasure to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about calculating quantities.

There's no one formula as depending on the size of the stone or pebble, more or less will fit in a certain area. If you can let us know the square metres of the area and the depth at which you want to fill, I can help you work out the needed quantity.

 

As a rough guide though, if you're aiming for a 50mm deep layer, you’ll need about 8 x 10kg bags per square metre.

 

To estimate the number of bags, you can use this quick calculation:

Square metres x 8 = number of 10kg bags needed at 50mm depth.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
