Driveway or Pad Coverage

How to calculate coverage for a standard driveway or pad

Example: Standard Driveway or Pad to be covered with Stone, 6 inches deep.

15 feet x 25 feet = 375 Square Feet

375 feet x 0.50 (6 inch depth) = 187.5 Cubic Feet

187.5 / 27 = 6.94 Cubic Yards (round up to 7 yards)

How to calculate coverage for an L - shaped driveway or pad

Example: L-Shaped Driveway or Pad to be covered with stone, 7 inches deep. The calculation is done in two sections.

18 feet x 40 feet = 720 Square Feet

10 feet x 40 feet = 400 Square Feet

400 feet + 720 feet = 1,120 Square Feet

1,120 x .58 (7 inch Depth) = 649.60 Cubic Feet

649.60 / 27 = 24.06 Cubic Yards
