One of the first steps in planning your Skyline stone project would be to figure out how much Skyline stone you will need. With each cut of our stone we give you an estimated coverage per ton. Coverage may vary depending on your masonry technique.

You will need to figure out the square footage. For example: You are building a stone wall 3’ high by 50’ long. Your square footage would be 150 square feet. Now you just divide that by the allotted coverage per ton. In this example say you want to use our small flag and small veneer for the stone wall. The coverage you should get is about 10-12 square feet per ton, so you would need approximately 15 ton of Skyline stone.

Next say you wanted to do a Skyline stone walkway using the small flag. Taking the same square footage of 150 square feet for the walkway, the coverage per ton is about 60-65 square feet. You get more coverage because you are laying the stone down. For this project you would need approximately 2 ½ tons of small flag stone. However, if all this seems too confusing, don't worry because this is where we come in. We are more than happy to assist you in figuring out how much Skyline stone you will need to complete your project. Just give us a call or stop in and visit us.
