Bulk sand prices range from $10 to $40 per ton, or between $15 and $50 per cubic yard depending on the type, quantity, and distance delivered. The average cost of sand installed is $50 to $150 per ton, which includes the sand, delivery, spreading labor, supplies, and equipment fees.
Using 2 inches for the depth, the following measurements are a guide to the amount of gravel coverage per ton: 1/4 to 1/2 inch gravel, 100 square feet per ton; 1/2 to 1 inch gravel, 90 square feet per ton; and 1 1/2 to 2 inches gravel, 80 square feet per ton.
As a general guide, one ton of gravel typically covers approximately: 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth.80 square feet at a 3-inch depth.60 square feet at a 4-inch depth.
If the stone size is 1/2-inch or less, the suggested depth is 2-inches. Stones that are 3/4-inch to 1-inch should have a depth of about 3-inches. Stones that are 1-inch or larger should have a depth of 4-inches.
Topsoils can vary in screening sizes, therefore some topsoils may be denser than others. Generally speaking, 1 tonne of topsoil will cover 0.63 cubic metres or 22 cubic feet or 0.81 cubic yards.
Or for a 1000 square foot house, the amount of sand needed is calculated as = building area x 0.0816 tons. For example, the amount of sand = 1000 × 0.0816 tons = 81.6 tons, so an average of 81.6 tons (2040 ft. or 58 cubic meters) of sand/fine aggregate is required for a 1000 square meter house.
