How it works
Volume comes from length, width and depth. Each stone type then gets its typical weight per cubic yard.
Before you order
- Larger stone needs a deeper layer to cover the ground fully.
- Take a photo of a sample in sunlight, since stone looks darker wet.
- Keep decorative stone back from siding so water and pests cannot hide there.

Is stone sold by weight or volume?
