Ask the stone distributor how many tons are needed for that area and they should have a chart that would tell you what is needed.

A ton is approximately equal to a cubic yard. So a ton would cover about 108 sq. feet. So 8 tons should do it, better a little over than a little short! Off the subject: I was always puzzeled why "stoners" sell in tons and landsacapers buy in cubic yards. When I was starting out in the landscaping business I couldn't figure out how to convert weight to volume until I actually bought my first load of crushed rock and watched them load it. I bought 10 tons for a job I was doing and the guys at the stone yard dumped 10 buckets full of stone in the back of the dump truck. Didn't weight it, just dumped 10 buckets full. The skip loader of course had a one cubic yard bucket on the front. Now why couldn't they have told me that from the get go?

How many tons is dependent on the size and type of stone you want to use. A cubic yard of stone is in the neighborhood of a ton. Give a quarry or stone yard your dimensions and the kind of stone you want and they will figure it exactly for you.
