Need help estimating formulas for landscape coverage? Here are some simple ways to help you:
To figure how much product for your area: area (in cubic yards)
CUBIC YARD MULCH COVERS AN AVERAGE REMULCH AT 100 SQUARE FEET PER YARD. AN AREA 10 x 10 OR 3 x 33
INCHES CONVERSION CHART:
- 324 sq ft – 1″ deep
- 162 sq ft – 2″ deep
- 108 sq ft – 3″ deep
- 81 sq ft – 4″ deep
- 65 sq ft – 5″ deep
LINEAR MEASURE:
- 12 inches = 1 foot
- 3 feet – 1 yard
CUBIC MEASURE:
- 27 cu ft = 1 cubic yard
- 1 cu ft = 7.5 gallons
- 1728 cu inches = 1 cubic ft
SQUARE MEASURE:
-
144 sq in = 1 sq ft
-
9 sq ft – 1 sq yd
-
43,560 sq ft = 1 acre
-
4,840 sq yd = 1 acre
BOULDERS:
Size Coverage Granite Boulders: ESTIMATE ONLY
4′-8″ 35-40 SF 24″ = approximately 500 lbs
8″ – 12″ 23-30 SF 36″ = approximately 2000 lbs
12″ – 18″ 12-15 SF 48″ = approximately 2 to 3 tons
24″ – 36″ 4-6 SF 5′ = approximately 4 to 5 tons
AREA: Note – all units must be the same for these forumlas to work. In other words, all in fee or all in inches.
Circle Area=diameter x diameter x .7854
Circle Area= pi x radius x radius
Circle Circumference = diameter of circle divided by .31831
Circle Diameter=circumference x .31831
Cylinder Volume = pi x radius x radius x height
Rectangle Area = Width x Height
Square Area = Side x Side
Triangle Area = 1/2 Base x Height
