What is Pebble Coverage?
Pebble coverage refers to the amount of decorative pebbles or gravel needed to cover a specific area in landscaping projects. Whether you're creating a garden path, decorating flower beds, or installing drainage solutions, knowing exactly how much material you need prevents waste and saves money.
How to Calculate Pebble Coverage
The formula for calculating pebble coverage is:
[\text{Pebble Coverage (kg)} = \text{Length (m)} \times \text{Width (m)} \times 75]
Where:
- Pebble Coverage is the total weight of pebbles needed in kilograms
- Length is the length of the area in meters
- Width is the width of the area in meters
- 75 is the standard coverage rate in kg per square meter
Calculation Example
Suppose you want to cover a rectangular garden bed that is 4 meters long and 2.5 meters wide.
Step 1: Identify the dimensions:
- Length: 4 m
- Width: 2.5 m
Step 2: Apply the formula:
[\text{Pebble Coverage} = 4 \times 2.5 \times 75]
Step 3: Calculate:
[\text{Pebble Coverage} = 10 \times 75 = 750 \text{ kg}]
You would need 750 kg of pebbles to cover this area.
