Question 2

How many wheelbarrows are in a cubic yard?

Accepted Answer

The number of wheelbarrows in a cubic yard depends on the size of your wheelbarrow. For example, if your wheelbarrow holds 3 cubic feet, you will need 9 wheelbarrows to equal one cubic yard.

Question 3

How much mulch or soil do I need? How much does 1 cubic yard cover?

Accepted Answer

One cubic yard of mulch or soil will cover approximately 100 square feet at a depth of 3 inches.

To estimate how many cubic yards you need, use the following formulas (make sure all measurements are in feet):
 • For a rectangle-shaped area:
(Length × Width × Depth) ÷ 27
 • For a circular area:
(3.14 × Radius² × Depth) ÷ 27

Question 4

What is the white chalky substance on top of my stone?

Accepted Answer

The white, chalky substance is called efflorescence. This forms when salts naturally present in concrete products are brought to the surface by moisture.

Efflorescence typically disappears on its own as the salts are released, which may take anywhere from a few months to a few years. For this reason, it’s recommended to avoid sealing concrete products for at least one year post-installation.

If the efflorescence is still a concern, products are available to help clean it away.
