How much stone do I need?
How much stone do I need for the ground?
For pebbles and gravel:
• ±80 kg per m², based on a 5 cm layer.*For grain sizes >32 mm a thicker layer is required.• Consumption per big bag: 1000 kg = 0.625 m³.
• Coverage: ±12.5 m² with a 5 cm layer.
For pine bark:
• ±70 L per m², based on a 5 cm layer.
• Consumption per big bag: 1000 L = ±1 m³ = ±600 kg
• Coverage: ±14 m² with a 5 cm layer.
For volcanic rock, slate and chamotte:
• ±50 kg per m², based on a 5 cm layer.
• Consumption per big bag: 1000 kg = ±1 m³
• Coverage: ±20 m² with a 5 cm layer
How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?
Density of ±1,650 kg per m³.
The calculation is easy to understand with an example: for a gabion measuring 100x50x30 cm, do the following:
1x0.5x0.3 = 0.15 m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50 kg of stone.
*It is always a good idea to allow 5% extra, as gabions widen slightly when filled and always take a little more stone than the theoretical calculation.
Please note!
PLEASE NOTE! Before buying, read this information about gravel and pebbles
Grain sizes are sieve sizes, not exact measurements
When we talk about stone of, for example, 60-80 mm, we mean that the stones pass through an 80x80 mm square mesh and do not pass through a 60x60 mm one. A stone 100 mm long and 65 mm wide can easily pass through that 80x80 mesh, because the mesh sorts by the width of the stone as it passes through, not by its total length. That is why it is normal for a percentage of stones to have some dimension above 80 mm or below 60 mm.
Machines do not sort 100% accurately
In addition, no industrial sorting process is perfect: there is always a small percentage of stone which, due to speed, irregular shape or pieces overlapping on the belt, does not pass correctly through the corresponding mesh and slips into the grade, so stones larger than stated may occasionally appear. This is normal for this type of product and is not considered a defect.
Breakage of pebbles
In pebbles over 60 mm, up to 10% of the stones may break during sorting, washing, loading and unloading. We currently have no machinery that completely prevents this breakage. The product photos show only real pieces: broken pieces have not been removed.
Dust and sand in the product
This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other materials from processing and transport. This is no problem for its use: the stone washes itself over time, or you can rinse it with water before use if you prefer.
Colour can vary considerably between batches
This is natural stone, and the colour changes from one batch to another, sometimes noticeably. This is especially important for multi-toned stones such as Blanco Rosa: some batches come out very white and others very pink, within the same product. If the exact shade is very important for your project, we recommend not buying this type of product online, as we cannot guarantee that the batch you receive will match the photo or a previous purchase.
Returns
Please bear in mind that returns, especially of 1,000 kg big bags, are usually complicated and expensive because of the weight and volume of the material. If the return is not due to an error on our part, the costs and arrangement of the return transport are borne by the customer.

Important Note on the Coloring and Handling of the Graphite Pebble:
At Vetonek.com, we strive to provide maximum transparency and accuracy in the description of our products. It is important to highlight that the Graphite Pebble has unique characteristics due to its natural origin:
- Color Variation: This stone shows a gray tone when dry, transforming into an intense black when wet. We invite you to review our detailed photographs in the product gallery, where you can appreciate the stone in both states (dry and wet) for a better understanding of its natural beauty and versatility.
- Nature of the Material: The Graphite Pebble is a very hard natural stone, making it resistant and durable. However, this same hardness can cause the stone to "chip" or fracture somewhat easily during production, packaging, loading, and unloading processes. Although we take all necessary measures to minimize this risk, it is important to understand that small breakages may occur due to the nature of the material.
At Vetonek.com, we value the authenticity and quality of our products. By choosing the Graphite Pebble, you are selecting a natural and unique product, not prefabricated, that will add a touch of elegance and naturalness to your outdoor space.

Frequently asked questions about gravel, pebbles and decorative stone
¿Es el canto más negro?
Sí: este mármol es conocido como la piedra más negra de Europa; mojado alcanza un negro profundo espectacular.
¿Y en seco?
Muestra un gris natural elegante; el contraste seco/mojado es parte de su encanto.
¿Qué medidas hay?
De 6-12 mm a 40-60 mm para paso, decoración o contraste.
¿Cuánta cantidad necesito por metro cuadrado?
Calcula unos 80 kg por m² para una capa de 5 cm: un saco de 20 kg cubre aproximadamente 0,25 m² y un big bag de 1.000 kg, unos 12,5 m². En granulometrías gruesas conviene una capa algo mayor.
¿Qué granulometría elijo?
Hay 4 medidas: 6-12 mm, 12-24 mm, 24-40 mm, 40-60 mm. Para zonas de paso y estabilizadores de grava elige la más fina; las medias decoran parterres y alcorques, y las gruesas son puramente decorativas o para gaviones, no para pisar.
¿En qué formatos se vende?
En Saco 20 kg, Big bag 500 kg, Big bag 1.000 kg. El transporte te deja el palet o big bag en la puerta de casa.
¿Hace falta malla antihierbas debajo?
Sí, muy recomendable: una malla o geotextil antihierbas bajo la piedra evita que salgan malas hierbas y facilita el mantenimiento durante años.
