FAQ

How much decorative stone for a border around my house?

A border 120 feet long and 3 feet wide takes about 4 cubic yards of decorative stone at a 3-inch depth. The strip math: 120 ft x 3 ft = 360 sq ft, then 360 x 3 ÷ 324 = 3.3 cubic yards — order 4 to keep a buffer for corners and curves. Measure the full run around the foundation, multiply by the strip width, and use the same formula.

Border strips at 3 inches deep

100 ft x 3 ft 300 sq ft ~3 cubic yards
120 ft x 3 ft 360 sq ft ~4 cubic yards
150 ft x 3 ft 450 sq ft ~4.5 cubic yards
200 ft x 3 ft 600 sq ft ~6 cubic yards

Run your own numbers in the material calculator, then pick a stone from the decorative stone collection.
