To calculate how much decorative stone mulch you will need for your project you will first need to find the total amount of square feet that needs covered.
Rectangular areas are measured by multiplying the length times the width. (Example) Length 4' x Width 5' = 20 square feet.
Circles are measured by multiplying the radius (half the diameter) by itself, and multiplying that by pi (3.14). (Example) Radius 3' x 3' = 9 square feet x 3.14 = 28.26 square feet.
Triangles are measured by multiplying the length times the width then dividing that product in half. (Example) Length 4' x Width 5' = 20 square feet x .5 = 10 square feet
Next select your decorative stone. Divide the total square feet that you would like to cover by the yield per ton that your selected decorative stone mulch will cover.
Example 600 square feet needs covered with Mojave Red Small 1." Small Mojave 1" has a yield of 90 square feet per ton.
600 / 90 = 6.7 tons of Mojave Small 1"
