50mm BC Stone Coverage Guide

One cubic yard of decorative stone provides approximately the following mathematical coverage:

Because BC Stone contains larger, approximately 50mm pieces, a depth of around 3–4 inches may be appropriate for many decorative installations. One-inch and two-inch coverage figures are shown for mathematical comparison only.

Landscaping with Large Natural BC Stone

BC Stone is particularly well suited to projects where a larger decorative rock is preferred over finer gravel or smaller landscape stone.

Its rugged appearance creates strong visual texture, while the neutral colour blend helps it coordinate with surrounding plants, trees, patios and retaining walls.

In larger landscape areas, 50mm BC Stone can provide a more noticeable stone pattern than smaller decorative aggregates.

It can also be used to create decorative dry creek beds and natural-looking landscape features where the project design permits.

How to Install 50mm BC Stone

1. Remove weeds, debris and unwanted vegetation from the installation area.
2. Prepare and level the underlying surface to establish the desired finished grade.
3. Install suitable landscape edging where needed to contain the stone.
4. Determine whether landscape fabric is appropriate for the project. Fabric is not necessary in every installation.
5. Calculate the required volume using the project area and intended depth.
6. Spread the BC Stone evenly, allowing for its larger particle size.
7. Inspect the finished surface and adjust the stone distribution for a consistent appearance.

Because of its larger size and angular shape, BC Stone is generally better suited to decorative ground cover than frequently travelled pedestrian walkways.

50mm BC Stone vs. Smaller Decorative Rock

Larger decorative stone creates a different finished appearance than smaller gravel and medium-sized landscape rock.

At approximately 50mm, BC Stone is suited to projects where individual stones should remain visually noticeable.

Smaller decorative rock can create a finer, more uniform surface, while BC Stone provides a more rugged and pronounced texture.

For garden borders, rock features and larger landscape beds, BC Stone can provide a strong natural-looking alternative to smaller decorative aggregates.
