How much stone do I need?
How much stone do I need for the ground?
For pebble and gravel:
• approximately 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For particle sizes >32mm, a thicker layer is required.
• Consumption per sack: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Coverage: approximately 12.5m² with a 5 cm layer.
For pine bark:
• approximately 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per sack: 1000L = approximately 1m³ = approximately 600kg
• Coverage: approximately 14m² with a 5 cm layer.
For volcanic, slate and chamotte:
• approximately 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per sack: 1000kg = approximately 1m³
• Coverage: approximately 20m² with a 5 cm layer
How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?
Density of approximately 1,650kg per 1m³.
The calculation is very easy to understand with an example: if you have a gabion of 100x50x30 cm, you must do the following calculations:
1x0.5x0.3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg of stone.
*It is always a good idea to calculate an extra 5%, since when gabions are filled they expand a little and a little more stone always fits than in the theoretical calculations.
Clarifications
ATTENTION!
The grain sizes of GRAVELS AND pebbles are sieve sizes
The actual sizes may vary slightly, since when talking about, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through an 80x80mm square mesh and do not pass through a 60x60mm one.
Through that 80x80 mesh, a stone 100mm long and 65mm wide can pass, so there may be a percentage of stones larger than 80 and smaller than 60mm.
Breakage of pebbles
On the other hand, in pebbles larger than 60mm, there is a percentage of up to 10% of stones that can break during sorting, washing, loading and unloading; to this day we do not have machinery that prevents such breakages.
In the photos you can see, only real products are shown; broken pieces have not been removed.
Dust and sand in the products
This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; the stone will wash itself over time or you can pour water on it before using it.
Gravel Mixcolor Terroir
Gravel Mixcolor Terroir: The Ultimate Blend in Strength and Style
Are you looking for a solution for your floor that is indestructible yet looks natural? We present to you the Gravel Mixcolor Terroir, an exclusive combination designed for those who do not want to choose between design and functionality.
This blend is born from the union of three of our most robust stones: the warmth of the Gravel Terroir, the brightness of the Gravel Saturno, and the industrial character of the Gravel Gray Blue ECO. The result is an aggregate with an organic appearance, extremely "weathered" and with a unique personality that adapts to any environment.
Why is it the queen of stabilizers and geocells?
The secret of the Mixcolor Terroir lies not only in its beauty but in its extreme hardness. We have combined three high-density materials that make it the number one technical option:
-
Immune to Vehicle Traffic: Being high mechanical resistance gravels, they do not break, do not pulverize, and do not generate sludge under the weight of vehicles. It is the perfect stone for parking lots and garage accesses.
-
Always Impeccable Aesthetic: Its mixed tones disguise the natural dirt from the outside much better than uniform colors. It is a "weathered" gravel that remains perfect with zero effort.
-
Unalterable Appearance for Life: None of the three stones that make up this blend degrade with sun or rain. Your garden or entrance will look exactly the same as the first day, decade after decade.
-
Drainage and Stability: Its granulometry is optimized to fill gravel stabilizers (geocells), creating a firm, walkable, and fully draining surface.
A special touch for your landscape
The Mixcolor Terroir offers a transition of earth, golden, and gray colors that breaks the monotony of conventional aggregate. It is the solid and elegant base that your project needs to withstand the passage of time and the most demanding use.
Install once. Enjoy for a lifetime. The Mixcolor Terroir is the force of nature put to the test.
