Figuring Landscape Rock Needed?

[GlastronGuy]

I can't remember how to do this.
I need to fill an area 90'X1'X.5"
How many yards of rock (+ - 3/8) do I need?
I guesstimate about .5 - .75 yd.

[GlastronGuy]

Wow. That seems like a lot of rock. Isn't a backhoe bucket normally around 1 yd?

That doesn't sound right. I know when you are figuring for cement, 80 square feet formed with 2X4's = 1 yard. You are figuring 90 square feet at .5" deep.

Rock yard knows. They usually have a chart on the wall.

Ya, I just wanted to sound like I know what I am doing.

I get 0.139 yd^3

Just to confirm, that last dimension is 1/2 inch?

I come up with about a 12 pack job. Hope that helps

I'm saying 7.5 cubic FEET.
How many yards I don't know. Are you talking cubic yards?
You would just divide that number by 3, that should give you cubic yards.
2.5 cubic yards
