To calculate how much paving sand you need, we've got a paving sand calculator for you.
With your pocket calculator (we'll call it your paving sand calculator from now on) enter the following number.
Enter the width of the area you are paving into the paving sand calculator
Press the multiply button
Enter the length of the area you are paving into the paving sand calculator
Press the multiply button
Enter the depth of paving sand you require into the paving sand calculator.
Press the equals button
The result you see in the paving sand calculator is the total area of paving sand you need (if you order in cubic meters)
One cubic meters of paving sand is about 1600kg, or 3500lbs
If you have calculated your paving sand requirements in cubic yards, the weight is 2700lbs per cubic yard, or 1200kg per cubic yard.
These figures are general and not entirely accurate, but they should be a good guide.
Now you've used your paving sand calculator, call us and we can send you all the paving sand you need.
