Cubic Yard & Ton Calculations
- Cubic Yard = 27 Cubic Feet
- One Ton = 18 Cubic Feet
- One Tone Covers Approx. 100 Sq Ft @ 2” Deep
- 1.5 Ton = One Cubic Yard (27 Cubic Feet)
- Sq Ft = L x W
- L x W /100 = How many tons you need for ¾ size stone
- Area triangle 90 degrees = ½ x L x W
- Volume = L x W x H
