For heavier duty applications such as commercial spaces or driveways a 6″ to 8″ layer of gravel should be used. Divide sand cubic cm by 1,000,000 to find how much sand is needed in cubic metersįor a typical patio, a paver base should consist of a 4″ layer of gravel with a 1″ layer of sand.Multiply the area by the sand depth in centimeters to find the sand volume in cubic cm.
PAVER BASE HOW TO
How to Find Cubic Meters of Base Materialįinding the cubic meters of sand and gravel needed is very similar to the steps above, with slight changes: Divide sand cubic inches by 46,656 to find the amount of sand in cubic yards.Multiply the area by the sand depth in inches to find the volume in cubic inches.Divide gravel cubic inches by 46,656 to find the amount of gravel in cubic yards.Multiply the area by the gravel depth in inches to find the volume in cubic inches.Multiply the length and width to find the area in square inches.Measure the length and width of the patio in inches Pea gravel refers to about 1-/4 to 1/2 inch diameter soil particles that have been screened to include only one size.To estimate the cubic yards of sand and gravel needed for a paver base follow these steps: This paver base normally consists of a 3- to 6-inch layer of aggregate materialoften limestone containing crushed rock that ranges in size from about 3/4 inch down to dust-sized particles.
