I thought that I was getting ripped off. Turned out once it is spread it is right. Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: The Great North~West!

Measure around the base, calculate the area, measure the height of the pile and do the math. area of base (assume it circular) x height x 1/3 will give you cubic feet. Then divide by 27. Have fun.

Look at the bill and it should have the weight of the truck with and w/o the rock. Super Moderator Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: DELAWARE, The First State Posts: 47,211 My son in law installs stone driveways primarily for new residential housing. He figures approximately 1.5 tons of stone per cubic yard. Example for a driveway 100' by 11' by 2" would require approximated 10.19 cubic yards of stone. How many tons was your friend billed for since this is how the supplier figured how much to deliver? Looks about right to me also. Join Date: Mar 2003 Location: Sarnia, Ontario, CANADA!

That looks like about 10 yards to me. -Matt Trending TopicsJoin Date: Jan 2007 Location: LOCKPORT, NY Posts: 878 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts I say 10 yards like earlier said it does not look like it but if you spread it out the right way you will have 10 yards, know this from having mulch and other stuff that needed to be spread out it looks less cause it is not spread out. Just hope that your neighbor was not ripped off though have them to check their slip for before and after load though too ok.
