Planning your stone order carefully prevents costly mistakes. Follow this simple guide to estimate exactly how much material you'll need.

Step 1: Measure Your Space

• For ground coverage: Calculate area (length × width) in square meters

• For gabion walls: Calculate volume (length × height × depth)

Step 2: Choose Your Depth

• Pathways: 5-7 cm

• Ground cover: 2-3 cm

• Gabions: Match cage dimensions

Step 3: Quantity Calculation

General rule:

• 1 ton = covers 12m² at 5cm depth

• 20kg bag = covers 0.5m² at 5cm depth

Example:
A 10m² pathway at 5cm depth requires:
10m² ÷ 12m²/ton = 0.83 tons (~850kg)

Key Considerations

✔ Add 10% extra for waste/spillage
✔ Irregular stones require more volume
✔ Sloped areas need additional material
