How much decorative stone will I need?
Anonymous user 15 March 2024 - 2.48 PM
If I buy the 790kg bulk bags of decorative stone from Homebase, how many bags will I need to cover an area of approx 3m x2m? How deep should the layer of stones be? Do i need to put anything on top of the soil first?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

The weight would suggest maybe 0.5 to 0.6 cubic meters of stone, so one bag should cover 6 square meters with a depth of 80-100mm, so more than enough. The stones will do a lot of work towards preventing weeds, but I'd put a weed membrane down before hand just to be sure.
